خلاصة:
China's unique governance system, characterized by a one-party system and centralized planning with regional decentralization, has become a cornerstone of its development planning, aligning with the country's long-term economic trajectory. In the context of the 14th Plan (2025-2021), China has prioritized innovation as a key driver of economic growth, aiming to transition from an export-oriented and consumer-driven economy to one that is more innovative and capital-intensive. This paradigm shift is evident in China's 14th Development Plan. China's emphasis on innovation, as outlined in the 14th Development Plan, reflects its transition from rapid economic growth (1978-2020) to a more mature stage. This transition necessitates seeking new, environmentally sustainable sources of growth. This research analyzes China's 14th Development Plan (2025-2021), focusing on the prominent role of innovation-oriented development and incorporating analysis from related supporting documents. Our findings show that China's governance has successfully adapted to the demands of timely development, transitioning from an export-driven and consumer-focused economy to a more innovative and capital-intensive one. This shift has reduced reliance on exports, increased domestic consumption, and significantly lowered the proportion of GDP invested. China's adoption of an innovation-oriented approach has helped mitigate resource and environmental pressures on its economy, while also positioning the country for greater global integration.

Journal of Program and Development Research - Research Article China's Programmatic Policy-making under its Long-term Transformations: An Analysis of 1 Innovation-oriented Expansion in China's Fourteenth Five-Year Plan (2021-2025) Gholamreza Geraei Nejad*2 Seyyed Rahim Teymouri ** Received Date: 2024/06/02 | Accepted Date: 2024/08/18 Fifth Year, Issue 18, Summer 2024 Abstract The unique characteristic of Chinese governance; namely, reliance on a single-party system and centralized planning with regional decentralization, despite its intensities and weaknesses, has turned into a stable feature of development planning in this country, which is dynamically linked to the long-term movement of China under the constraints of the global economy.
The following article was initially published in the form of periodic reports titled "An Analysis of China's Goal-setting for Innovation-oriented Expansion in the Fourteenth Five-Year Plan (2021-2025) and Supporting Documents" at the Center for Development and Foresight Research in 2024, and with the addition of new supplements, it has been presented as an article under the above title in the current issue (18).
Research Questions Since 1949 and the beginning of its new governance model (1949), China has formulated and implemented fourteen development plans, and although the concept of innovation has been implicitly raised in them, it has never been at the center of its programmatic goals, and topics related to growth, infrastructure, rural-urban transformations, poverty reduction, and employment in a Gregorian year have always been the criteria.
