BEIJING (AP) \u2014 Chinese leader Xi Jinping delivered a speech Monday on the opening day of a major meeting<\/a> of the ruling Communist Party to approve a draft plan laying out its goals for the country over the next five years.<\/p>\n

A short dispatch from the official Xinhua News Agency said Xi \u201cexpounded on the Party leadership\u2019s draft proposals\u201d for the next five-year plan for national economic and social development, which will cover 2026-2030. It did not provide any details.<\/p>\n

The latest plan comes at a time of growing challenges and uncertainty for China, including a persistently sluggish economy<\/a>, foreign restrictions on its access to the latest technologies and high tariffs imposed on its exports to the United States.<\/p>\n

A Xinhua editorial said that the plan should focus on \u201chigh-quality\u201d development and technological innovation, while also ensuring national security is protected and the benefits of economic growth are spread fairly and more widely.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere will be hardships and obstacles on our way forward, and we may encounter major tests,\u201d the editorial said in discussing economic and national security goals. \u201cWe must be prepared to deal with a series of new risks and challenges.\u201d<\/p>\n

Analysts and investors are watching the meeting to look for clues about how the plan will balance economic and security interests, and to what extent the plan will call for structural changes to boost consumer spending and manage an aging society.<\/p>\n

This week\u2019s four-day meeting brings together about 200 voting members and 170 alternate members of the Central Committee of the Communist Party.<\/p>\n

The body will approve the draft five-year plan, though full details likely won\u2019t be released until it is formally approved at the legislature\u2019s next annual meeting, expected in March.<\/p>\n

Ahead of the meeting, the Defense Ministry announced late last week that nine senior officers suspected of corruption had been expelled<\/a> from the Communist Party. Eight were members of the Central Committee, and their removal from the party allows replacements to be named to the committee.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"BEIJING (AP) \u2014 Chinese leader Xi Jinping delivered a speech Monday on the opening day of a major…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":318778,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4,3],"tags":[13214,64,74,13212,30303,57,50,80,67,132,68,107,11762],"class_list":{"0":"post-318777","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-united-states","8":"category-us","9":"tag-asia-pacific","10":"tag-business","11":"tag-china","12":"tag-china-government","13":"tag-communism","14":"tag-general-news","15":"tag-news","16":"tag-politics","17":"tag-united-states","18":"tag-unitedstates","19":"tag-us","20":"tag-world-news","21":"tag-xi-jinping"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115407024670858669","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/318777","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=318777"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/318777\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/318778"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=318777"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=318777"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=318777"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
