中 수뇌부 '5중 전회' 총출동..."미국 넘을 묘책 찾나?"
China's leaders have assembled in Beijing to formulate an economic blueprint for the next five years.
It is thought their main agenda item is ways to tackle the diplomatic and economic pressure the U.S. is piling on China.
Kim Hyo-sun reports.
China on Monday kicked off its 19th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China in Beijing.
To take part in the four-day closed door meeting,... top government officials, including President Xi Jinping and Premier Li Keqiang, gathered in Beijing.
On the first day,... President Xi, general secretary of the CPC Central Committee, delivered a work report.
The main agenda item was how to counter Washington's continued pressure on Beijing.
Pundits believe this session will widely focus on building the country's so-called 'self-reliant' economy.
The committee will also be mapping out the country's 14th Five-Year Plan for Economic and Social Development as well as future targets for 2035.
Drawn up every five years since 1953, the plan is a major feature of China’s governance system,... setting growth targets as well as defining economic and social development policies to ensure national strategies keep pace with the times.
During the CPC National Congress in late 2017,... President Xi highlighted the importance of preparing for another journey forward, referring to the country's 13th Five-Year Plan, which ends this year.
"In this period, not only must we finish building a moderately prosperous society in all respects and achieve the first centenary goal; we must also build on this achievement to embark on a new journey toward the second centenary goal of fully building a modern socialist country."
The new Five-Year Plan is expected to lay out measures to nurture a new development pattern that makes the domestic market as the mainstay, while letting domestic and foreign markets boost each other.
The plan is also expected to focus on China's target of achieving over 5 percent annual growth.
Heavy investment is also planned for major industries including chips, AI and telecommunications technology.
