The Overall Plan for Development in Five Areas

An Overall Plan for Development in Five Areas – the development of socialism with Chinese characteristics encompassing economic, political, cultural, social and ecological development – was proposed on November 8, 2012 at the 18th National Congress of the CPC. While economic development continues to be the central pillar, economic, political, cultural, social and ecological development are to be promoted on all fronts, modernization is to be fostered in all areas, and all elements are to be developed in a coordinated manner. The Overall Plan for Development in Five Areas and the Four-pronged Strategy support each other and interact in a planned manner. Proceeding from economic growth, they help develop a socialist market economy, democratic governance, advanced culture, ecological progress, and a harmonious society. Together, they help make the people more prosperous, the country stronger, and China more beautiful. The enunciation of the Overall Plan for Development in Five Areas illustrates how the CPC continues to extend its understanding of coordinated development and of the framework of socialism with Chinese characteristics.
