China's 15th Five-Year Plan sets the course for the country's next stage of economic development, with a stronger focus on domestic demand, innovation, green transition, and high-quality growth. What are China's top priorities over the next five years? How will the new plan shape China's economy and influence the global economic landscape amid rising geopolitical and geoeconomic uncertainty? On this special edition of The Hub at the World Economic Forum's Annual Meeting of the New Champions 2026 in Dalian, China, Wang Guan is joined by Guo Lanfeng, president of the China Society of Economic Reform; Adam Tooze, economic historian at Columbia University; Yuen Yuen Ang, political economist at Johns Hopkins University; and Wu Zuyu, chairman of Hithium. Together, they explore the priorities of China's 15th Five-Year Plan and discuss how the country aims to strengthen domestic demand, advance technological innovation, accelerate the green transition, and modernize its industrial system. They examine how China's development strategy has evolved since the 14th Five-Year Plan and look into the shift from the traditional growth model toward high-quality development.
