China\u2019s 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-2030)<\/a> makes clear that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is prioritizing its own political goals over the development of the Tibetan people. The PRC National People\u2019s Congress adopted the Plan on 12 March 2026, and finalized the Tibet-specific components in provincial level meetings earlier this year. The International Campaign for Tibet (ICT)\u2019s analysis of the Tibet-specific details and related statements by Chinese leaders demonstrate that fulfilling Xi Jinping\u2019s political agenda of Sinicization and assimilation remains driving force of the CCP\u2019s Tibet policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chinese state media alluded to the political objective of the 15th Five-Year Plan by quoting Xi Jinping<\/a>: \u201cAs long as we maintain strategic resolve, forge ahead step by step, and advance steadily from one stage to another, we will continue to turn small victories into great success in advancing the cause of the Party and the country, and our goals will surely be achieved.\u201d China believes the 15th Five-Year Plan period is critical to achieving \u201csocialist modernization\u201d by 2035. \u201cIts focus on high-quality development prioritizes innovation, sustainability, and making domestic demand a more prominent economic driver,\u201d according to Chinese state media<\/a>.\u201c For Beijing, the logic behind this approach is straightforward. Over the past decade, Chinese policymakers have become increasingly convinced that globalization \u2013 once the engine of the country\u2019s meteoric growth \u2013 is becoming a source of vulnerability,\u201d says Dr. Yu Jie<\/a>, senior research fellow on China in Chatham House\u2019s Asia-Pacific program.
