Beijing prepares to host the fourth session of the 14th National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) commencing Wednesday, with approximately 2,100 members converging to deliberate on China’s developmental trajectory. The formulation of the 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-2030) emerges as the cornerstone agenda item, positioning this gathering as pivotal for shaping the nation’s socio-economic blueprint.
The session’s framework, ratified during Sunday’s Standing Committee meeting, outlines comprehensive proceedings. Political advisers will examine two critical documents: the Standing Committee’s work report and a comprehensive assessment of proposal handling since last year’s assembly. In a demonstration of China’s integrated governance model, CPPCC members will participate as non-voting delegates in the concurrent National People’s Congress session to engage with the Government Work Report and related documents.
A pre-session press conference is scheduled for Tuesday at 3 PM in the Great Hall of the People, where spokesman Liu Jieyi will address domestic and international media regarding conference preparations and field inquiries. This transparency mechanism underscores the advisory body’s role in China’s political architecture, facilitating cross-sector consultation on national policy formulation and strategic objective setting.
