In 2026, China officially
entered the period covered by its 15th Five-Year Plan (2026–2030), while the
21st National Congress of the Chinese Communist Party is scheduled for 2027.
China’s economy now stands at a crossroads as it transitions from
traditional to new growth drivers. Domestic demand remains weak, the
property market has yet to bottom out, local government finances and the
financial system face mounting pressure, and demographic changes continue to
weigh on long-term growth potential. Externally, U.S.-China competition in
technology and trade continues to intensify, global supply chains are
undergoing accelerated restructuring, and geopolitical risks are
increasingly disrupting the international economic and trading order.
Amid mounting domestic and
external pressures, China is using the 15th Five-Year Plan to reset its
development strategy. Its priorities range from technological self-reliance,
industrial upgrading, and financial reform to the green transition. China is
also seeking greater influence over the emerging global order via overseas
investment, the internationalization of the renminbi, and economic
diplomacy. These policy directions will not only shape China’s development
trajectory over the next five years but also profoundly affect the regional
economic landscape and Taiwanese companies’ overseas expansion, supply chain
adjustments, and investment decisions.
The forum will convene
experts and scholars with substantial experience in Chinese economic
research. Through the lenses of economic transformation and great-power
competition, participants will analyze the policy implications of the 15th
Five-Year Plan and evaluate potential developments following the 21st Party
Congress. The forum seeks to enhance understanding of Chinese policy shifts
and to facilitate anticipation of future risks and business opportunities.
Representatives from industry, government, academia, research institutions,
and other sectors are invited to register and attend.
