China is doubling down on its service industry as part of its 15th Five-Year Plan (2026–2030), revealed during a high-stakes meeting this week. The move signals a major shift toward tech-driven services and sustainable growth 🌱, with officials calling it "the backbone of tomorrow's economy."
At a Tuesday symposium hosted by the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), business leaders brainstormed ways to supercharge sectors like fintech, green energy services, and AI-driven logistics. Think Silicon Valley meets the Great Wall 🏯 – but with a distinctly Chinese blueprint.
"The service sector isn't just about cafes and ride-hailing apps anymore," said NDRC head Zheng Shanjie. "It's about building smart cities, carbon-neutral supply chains, and digital healthcare systems that can lead the global stage by 2030."
