July 2026 data confirmed a mixed outlook for China’s 15‑year “Beautiful China” agenda. Q2 GDP grew 4.3 % YoY, the slowest since late 2022, while first‑half growth held at 4.7 % within the target band. Industrial profit growth eased, with June profit up 15.1 % YoY, down from May’s 21.1 % jump. High‑tech exports, especially EVs, batteries and AI‑related hardware, rose 27 % YoY, cushioning the slowdown, even as auto‑sector profit fell 19.5 % amid a ninth‑month sales decline. The 15th Five‑Year Plan (2026‑2030) stresses high‑quality development, innovation and a green transition. Officials shifted transition, shifting emphasis from export‑driven growth to domestic consumption, consumption and targeting roughly 60 trillion yuan in retail sales by 2030 and a 20 % rise in total consumer‑goods sales. 2030. Pillar industries – integrated circuits, aerospace, biomedicine, low‑altitude economy, new‑energy storage and intelligent robotics – are earmarked as new growth engines. Environmental policy was reinforced through the “Beautiful China Construction 15‑5 Plan” with 18 quantitative ecological targets, a five‑year industrial emissions plan aiming for a CO₂ peak by 2030 and >10 % cut in energy intensity, and the “Ecological Environment Code” law. The energy strategy calls for over 20 trillion yuan investment in a new‑energy system, raising renewable capacity to >50 % of electricity and targeting 50 % non‑fossil electricity by 2030. In August 2026 the National Development and Reform Commission NDRC and the National Energy Administration NEEA released a five‑year power‑sector plan (2026‑2030). It adds (2026‑2030) adding more than 2.8 billion kW of new‑energy capacity, bringing total installed capacity to 5.4 billion kW. Specific goals Capacity targets include 410 million kW of conventional hydropower, about 110 million kW of nuclear power nuclear, and roughly 65 million kW of biomass, solar‑thermal, geothermal and marine energy, plus a charging network for over 110 million electric vehicles. EVs.
