China’s Draft 15th Five‑Year Blueprint Prioritises Ocean Power, Chip Independence and Service‑Sector Opening

China’s draft 15th Five‑Year Plan sets out a broad state‑led agenda for 2026–2030 emphasizing maritime development, decisive tech self‑reliance (notably chips and industrial machinery), strategic digital and physical infrastructure, and a controlled widening of service‑sector openness. It pairs industrial prioritisation across near‑term, mid‑term and future sectors with social and energy targets, signalling continuity in state economic planning but with updated strategic priorities.
