The draft Outline for the 14th Five-Year Plan for Economic and Social Development and Long-Range Objectives Through the Year 2035 (referred to below as the “Outline”) was reviewed and approved at the Fourth Session of the 13th National People’s Congress.

Reducing the disparities in development between regions is an objective requirement for optimizing the layout of China’s territorial space under high-quality development. The Outline states that we must thoroughly implement major regional strategies, the coordinated regional development strategy, and the functional zoning strategy, refine systems and mechanisms for coordinated regional development, and develop a high-quality regional economic layout and a territorial space supporting system. We must optimize the layout for development and protection of our territorial space, leverage the comparative strengths of each area on the basis of their resource and environmental carrying capacity, implement the functional zoning system, enhance the supportive capacity of regions with important functions, and actively create more room for growth of the maritime economy. We must promote new breakthrough progress on major regional strategies, accelerate coordinated development of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Region, comprehensively advance development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, drive active yet steady progress in development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, boost integration in the Yangtze River Delta, and take concrete steps to promote ecological conservation and high-quality development in the Yellow River basin. We must thoroughly implement the coordinated regional development strategy, push on with work to create a new pattern of large-scale development of the western region, make breakthroughs in revitalizing the northeast region, open up new prospects for the rise of the central region, encourage the eastern region to pick up the pace of modernization, and support the development of regions with unique features, promoting relative balance through development.
