DCC note. This is the successor to the 14th Five-Year Plan for National Informatization (2021). The release and the Office’s press Q&A, both published the same day, add four points. First, the Office drafted the plan with the relevant departments under the Commission’s work arrangements, against the 15th Five-Year Plan Outline’s goal of “major progress” in informatization by 2030. Second, the layout is “build three systems, raise five levels, consolidate two supports”, with 25 key tasks in ten areas and seven project boxes. Third, the 12 indicators are meant to carry on from the 14th Five-Year plan’s indicators. Fourth, the Office will implement it through coordination, funding, talent, and publicity, including regular national informatization development reports. All 12 indicators are anticipatory (预期性), not binding (约束性).
