How will China shape its next chapter? As the country wraps up its 14th Five-Year Plan and prepares for the 15th, the world is watching to see how China will continue to innovate, deepen reforms, and promote sustainable development. In this special roundtable "Shaping a Shared Future: China's Next Five Years," CGTN's Wang Guan sits down in Beijing with a group of young researchers who study in China. They share their firsthand experiences and insights into the country's transformation and what lies ahead. From daily life in China's cities to digital payments, green development, and smart campuses, the discussion explores how innovation, entrepreneurship, and environmental awareness are reshaping the way people live and learn. Looking ahead, the guests reflect on Chinese modernization, the priorities of the upcoming 15th Five-Year Plan, and how international students and professionals can contribute to China's next stage of growth.
