Local officials and business executives say following guidelines of the Fifth Plenary Session will lead to high-quality growth

Directed by the guidelines of the Fifth Plenary Session of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, Shanxi province is on track to high-quality development that features innovation, new-type urbanization, advanced manufacturing, agricultural modernization and a steady balance between economic growth and environmental protection.

The Fifth Plenary Session of the CPC Central Committee was held in Beijing on Oct 26-29. It adopted the CPC Central Committee's proposals for the 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-25) and long-range objectives for the next 15 years.

In Shanxi, government officials, business executives and even staff members of companies have studied the Plenary Session's documents carefully. They all hope to use the conference's proposals to guide their actions.

Since November last year, staff at the Shanxi branch of Beijing Natural Gas Pipeline Engineering based in Xinzhou city have held a number of meetings to learn about the plenary session documents.
