L’Oreal, Michelin, Schneider Electric, Safran, and Stellantis Group, among others, expressed their expectations for China’s 14th Five-Year Plan and the resulting development opportunities.
New Prospects for Win-Win Cooperation
On March 1, 10 days before the adoption of the 14th Five-Year Plan, the Ministry of Commerce issued a circular on stabilizing foreign investment for the construction of a new development pattern.

Premier Li Keqiang said at a press conference on March 11 that China had proposed to position itself on the new stage of development, implement a new development philosophy and build a new pattern of development with domestic development as the main focus and international and domestic development cycles reinforcing each other. This is not only to expand the domestic market, but also to further open up.
