What does China’s latest Two Sessions meeting reveal about the country’s long-term economic strategy—and what does it mean for global investors?

In this video, CEIBS Wang Renxuan, Assistant Professor of Finance and Director of the CEIBS-APS Centre for Financial Markets at CEIBS, explains the significance of the launch of China’s 15th Five-Year Plan, the newest phase of a policy framework that has guided China’s development for more than seven decades.

Drawing on his own research, he explains how China’s capital markets play a critical role in directing financial resources toward national strategic priorities. Recent policy announcements confirm this approach, including:

• Fast-track IPO channels for strategic technology firms
• Capital market reforms to increase equity financing
• Stronger alignment between policy, capital, and technological development

For international business leaders and investors, understanding China’s policy framework—particularly the Five-Year Plan system—is essential to identifying where capital, talent, and government support will flow next.
