Fourteenth five-year plan

Last updated

The plan aims to increase China's scientific and technical capabilities. [19] China aims to make "major breakthroughs in core technologies" [15] and to prioritize technological self-sufficiency. [11] :218

The plan aims to increase R&D spending every year by 7%, [15] [19] with the proportion of that going to basic research increasing from 6% to more than 8%. [19] and aid the development of real-world applications by fostering closer links between business, industry, and academia – historically such links have been weak. [19] Businesses will be encouraged to invest in R&D through tax incentives. [15] [19]

The plan aims to boost quantum information and computing, [20] :95 brain science, semiconductors, seed industry, genetic research, regenerative medicine, biotechnology, clinical medicine and health, and deep space, deep sea and polar exploration. The plan prioritizes development towards an integrated communications system, including earth observation and navigation satellites. [21] :81

The plan set the goal of building four comprehensive national science centers, to be located in Huairou, Zhangjiang, the Greater Bay Area, and Hefei. [22] :123

China still is unable to independently develop advanced semiconductors that match the performance of those made in Taiwan or South Korea. [23] Acknowledging the challenges that lay ahead, influential officials, entrepreneurs, and academics have evoked the "patriotic spirit of scientists" and called on Chinese students and entrepreneurs to "gnaw on the hard bones" to help China build an independent, controllable semiconductor supply chain.

China has more than 7,200 licensed seed companies but few have the capability for innovation. Tang Renjian, Minister of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, said the ministry is studying a plan to help its animal and plant breeding sector close the gap with foreign countries. [24]

About a trillion dollars of government funding have been set aside under the technology initiative, part of which will be used by central and local governments to jointly invest in a series of third-generation chip projects, according to people with knowledge of the matter. [25]

“For our country, technology and innovation is not just a matter of growth," Liu He told a three-story auditorium packed with China's top scientists in a separate meeting in May 2021. "It's also a matter of survival." [26]

Urbanization

The Fourteenth Five-Year Plan sets a target urbanization rate of 65%, as measured by permanent population living in cities (i.e., as opposed to hukou status). [22] :206

The plan directs the development of more centralized cities and avoiding urban sprawl. [21] :114–115 The plan calls for acceleration of urban renewal to develop "human-centric cities." [21] :115 The plan's related Climate Change Special Plan emphasizes ecologically oriented urban planning, including through means like urban green rings, public transportation, and bicycle lanes and walking paths. [21] :114
