As the ongoing ‘Two Sessions’ in China unravel and reach their mid-way mark today, some really important documents and interesting discussions are making headlines. There’s the 15th Five-Year Plan, of course, the draft for which is now being finalised into a binding document, there’s Li Qiang’s Government Work Report, which doesn’t just talk about the strides and headwinds of the last year, but of the 14th FYP period as a whole, and of course, there are the Local Budgets and the National Economic & Social Development Plans.
Firstly, the 15th FYP draft discusses the key pillars that are likely to underpin China’s military modernisation trajectory till 2030. What are these? Specifically, Section XV, on national defence and military modernisation, features two chapters: Chapter 55: Achieving the Centenary Goal of Building the Military on Schedule and Advancing the Modernisation of National Defence and the Armed Forces with High Quality; and Chapter 56: Consolidating and Enhancing the Integrated National Strategic System and Capabilities.
