 "China Economy, Inflation")
President Xi Jinping opened a meeting in Beijing this week to map out the next phase of economic development, just days before one of the most contentious US elections in history will produce a president resistant to China’s ascent no matter who wins.
The country’s 14th five-year plan is expected to center around technological innovation, economic self reliance and a cleaner environment. Communist Party officials will also set goals for the next 15 years as Xi seeks to deliver on his vow for national rejuvenation by gaining the global lead in technology and other strategic industries.
