The Five-Year Plan is a long-term program at the heart of
China's national economic planning.
The aim is to provide a detailed plan for major construction
projects, distribution of productive forces, and proportional
development of national economy, as well as to set an orientation
for the future development of the country. Since the founding
of the People's Republic of China in 1949, nine five-year
plans have been worked out, starting from 1953 (From October
1949 through the end of 1952 and from 1963 through 1965, China
experienced economic recovery and readjustment). They are:
Ninth Five-Year Plan (1996-2000)
Eighth Five-Year Plan (1991-1995)
Seventh Five-Year Plan (1986-1990)
Sixth Five-Year Plan (1981-1985)
Fifth Five-Year Plan (1976-1980)
Fourth Five-Year Plan (1971-1975)
Third Five-Year Plan (1966-1970)
