The Fifth Plenary Session of the 14th CPC Central Committee
adopted the Proposal on the Ninth Five-Year Plan on National
Economy and Social Development and Long-Range Objectives to the
Year 2010 on September 28, 1995. It was the first medium-length
plan made under a socialist market economy, and a cross-century
development strategy.
The basic tasks stipulated in the Plan were: to complete the
second phase in the modernization drive; to cap population growth
at 300 million by 2000; to quadruple per capita GNP as compared to
1980; to eliminate poverty; and to speed up the establishment of a
modern enterprise system.
Long-range objectives to the year 2010 were: to double 2000’s
GNP; and to continue to build the socialist market economic
system.
