14th Five-Year Plan for

National Informatization
December 2021
During the “14th Five-Year Plan” period, informatization is entering a new phase of
accelerated digitized development and building a digital China. General Secretary Xi Jinping
has stressed that without informatization, there is no modernization. Informatization brings
opportunities for the Chinese nation to scale difficult peaks, and the historical opportunity
of informatization development must be acutely grasped. Accelerating digitized
development and building a digital China are inherent requirements for meeting the
changed circumstances of a new development phase, grasping the opportunities of the
information revolution, building new advantages for national competition, and accelerating
the creation of a modern Socialist country; they are strategic steps in implementing new
development ideas and promoting high-quality development; and they are a necessary road
to promote building a new development structure and building a modern economic system.
Directly facing the profound changes in industrial chains and supply chains in the
“post-pandemic era” as well as the profound changes in global governance systems,
responding to the change in the main contradiction of our country’s society, accelerating
digitized development, and building a digital China are necessary choices to foster new
development drivers, stimulate new development vitality, bridge the digital divide,
accelerate the advance of the modernization of the national governance system and
governance capability, and stimulate the people’s comprehensive development and society’s
comprehensive progress.
This Plan has been formulated on the basis of the “14th Five-Year Plan for National
Economic and Social Development of the People’s Republic of China and 2035 Long-Term
Objective Planning,” the “National Informatization Development Strategy Outline,” etc.; it is
an important component of the national planning system for the “14th Five-Year Plan”
period and a guideline for action for informatization work in all localities and all
departments during the “14th Five-Year Plan” period.

I. Current status and circumstances
(1) Current Development Status
During the “13th Five Year-Plan” period, the Party Center with Comrade Xi Jinping at the
core has paid high regard to informatization development, promoting theoretical
innovation, practical innovation, and structural innovation in informatization work; making
strategic policy decisions on building a cyber power, a digital China, and a smart society;
strengthening top-level design, comprehensive coordination, integrating holistic
advancement, and supervising implementation; and promoting informatization
development to gain historical achievements, allowing historic transformation to occur. The
major objectives and tasks in the “13th Five-Year Plan for China” have gained decisive
progress and notable achievements.
The scale of [China's] information infrastructure is world-leading. The world’s

largest-scale optical fiber and 4G networks were completed, commercial use of 5G was a
leader worldwide, and the Internet penetration rate surpassed 70%. From 2015 to 2020, fixed
broadband household penetration rates grew from 52.6% to 96%, mobile broadband user
penetration rates rose from 57.4% to 108%. Rural informatization development level
disparities clearly shrunk; the proportion of administrative villages and poor villages
connected with optical fiber and 4G networks reached 98%. The Beidou-3 global satellite
navigation system was put into use.
Important breakthroughs were obtained in the information technology industry. Our

country’s global innovation index ranking jumped from 29th in 2015 to 14th in 2020.
Breakthroughs were obtained in integrated circuits, basic software, and several other
critical and core technologies. Since 2019, our country has become the largest source of
patent applications globally, and ranks first worldwide in patent application numbers in
areas such as 5G, blockchain, and artificial intelligence. The information technology
industry is further expanding and strengthening; added value in the electronic and
information manufacturing sector has sustained annual growth rates over 9%; and income
in the software industry has sustained annual growth rates over 13%. Strategic technology
industry ecosystems are continuously optimized.
The digital economy achieved leapfrog development. Our country’s digital economy ranks
second place globally in terms of overall scale; the share of added value in the core digital
economy industries grew to a proportion of 7.8% of GDP in 2020; the digital industrialization
base is becoming increasingly solid; the role of data in enabling capabilities and knowledge
is becoming more prominent every day. Rural digitization development is accelerating;
precision operations, digitized management, etc., are undergoing large-scale expansion.
The digitization transformation of manufacturing accelerated its advance, with clear

7
reductions in cost, improvements in quality, and increases in efficiency. The progress of

digitization in the services sector is accelerating, with flourishing development of new
business formats and models. In 2020, the value of e-commerce transactions reached 37.21
trillion Yuan, becoming an important channel for residents’ consumption.
The people's levels of information welfare and access increased substantially. The
breadth and depth of “Internet + Government Services” rapidly grew, a national government
service platform was basically completed and put into service, and the nationwide
governmental website integration levels clearly increased. The world's first Internet court
was established, and the national “Internet + oversight” system was preliminarily
completed. The country achieved striking results in poverty alleviation, and digital
technology played an important role in novel coronavirus pandemic prevention and control.
Nationwide e-social security card issuance reached 360 million; long-distance healthcare
cooperation networks cover over 24000 healthcare bodies in all districts and cities
nationwide and all national-level poor counties’ county-level hospitals; and the nationwide
Internet access rate for primary and secondary schools (including tuition points) reached
100%.
Striking achievements were obtained in international cooperation in the digital area.

Digital economy partnership relation networks were increasingly expanded; the “Proposal
for Action to Join Hands in Building a Community of Common Destiny in Cyberspace” was
published; the Global Initiative on Data Security was proposed; the G20 Digital Economy
Development and Cooperation Initiative and the Initiative for International Cooperation on
the Digital Economy in the “Belt-Road Initiative’’ were initiated; “Digital Silk Road”
memoranda of understanding on cooperation were signed with 16 countries; and “Silk Road
E-commerce” bilateral cooperation mechanisms were established with 22 countries.
Cybersecurity and informatization enterprises globalized their development; network
interconnection advanced profoundly; and international market competitiveness in
information and telecommunication technologies, products, and services increased
substantially. The concept of a community of common destiny in cyberspace was broadly
disseminated.
The optimization of the environment for informatization development increased. Legal

and policy frameworks for informatization development were essentially created; digital
market reform and opening up accelerated its pace; and digital oversight services were
optimized and improved. The Cybersecurity Law, E-commerce Law, Cybersecurity Review
Measures, etc., were promulgated and took effect; positive progress was made in
information technology and cybersecurity standardization; progress was made in scientific
discipline building and talent training; and cybersecurity protection capabilities were
clearly strengthened. Cyberspace is becoming cleaner and crisper every day; online culture
is flourishing; the degree of online civilization is steadily improving.

(2) Development Circumstances
During the “14th Five-Year Plan” period, complex and profound changes are occurring in
the external environment and domestic conditions of our country’s informatization
development. The present world is undergoing major changes unseen in a century;
emerging market countries and developing countries are rising at unprecedented speeds; a
new round of scientific and technological revolution, as well as industrial change, is
bringing unprecedentedly fierce competition; global governance systems and international
trends are changing at unprecedented rates; and the novel coronavirus pandemic’s impact
brought unprecedented instability and indeterminacy to the evolution of the global order.
From an international perspective, the world has entered a period of turbulent change,
unilateralism, protectionism, and hegemonism, which constitute threats to world peace and
development and the security and stability of our country’s information technology industry
chains; supply chains and innovation chains are presented with grave challenges. The
digital transformation of the global economy is accelerating; a new generation of
information technology is accelerating its iterations and converging in its applications; the
digital economy is leading an omnidirectional change in production factors, organizational
forms, and commercial models. International competition in the digital space is entering a
new phase, and national innovation and competitiveness focused on information
technology ecosystem advantages, digitization transformation capabilities, and data
governance abilities at the core, is currently becoming the focal point of a new round of
competition between countries worldwide; the competition over normative systems in the
digital area and core technology ecosystems is growing more fierce by the day.
From a domestic perspective, our country has turned toward a high-quality development
stage; its structural advantages are clear; its governance efficacy has been upgraded;
long-term economic trends are good; the material basis is solid; human resources are
abundant; market space is broad; development tenacity is tough the bigger social picture is
stable; and there are advantages and conditions for sustained development in many areas.
Accelerating digitized development, persisting in driving both wheels of technological
innovation and structural innovation, and leading the construction of modern industrial
systems with the digital economy all benefit the promotion of qualitative change, efficiency
change, and driver change in economic development. Accelerating digitized development,
advancing the modernization of the national governance system and governance
capabilities, and forging publicly built, publicly governed, and public social governance
structures help satisfy the popular masses’ expectations for beautiful lives. Accelerating
digitized development and enhancing upgrades to the industrial base as well as
modernization levels of industrial chains assists in amending shortcomings in the
capabilities of the industrial base and inciting the vitality of market subjects. Persisting in
cooperation and mutual benefit and promoting the external openness levels of
informatization to become wider in range and broader in scope benefits the construction of

9
a new development structure with domestic circulation in the lead and the dual domestic
and international circulations mutually advancing each other.
At the same time, several prominent shortcomings still exist in our country’s
informatization development, primarily: the issue of unbalanced and incomplete
informatization development is still comparatively obvious; the lag in rural informatization
development level remains relatively large; structural and mechanistic obstacles to further
unleash digitized productivity persist; shortcomings in crucial and core technologies are
prominent; international competitiveness of the industrial ecology is lacking; the digital
economy is insufficiently deeply merged with the real economy and its role in leading
high-quality development awaits further elaboration; weak segments exist in the
informatization building of social governance; grass-roots governance capabilities await
upgrading; the construction of the national data resource system lags behind; the value
potential of data factors has not yet been effectively activated; government service
innovation and social public service digitization supply capabilities are insufficient; the
masses’ individualized and universalized demands cannot yet be satisfied; “China’s plan” for
international cooperation in the digital area has not yet been perfected; and digitized
development governance systems urgently need to be completed.
The “14th Five-Year Plan” period is an important period of opportunity for innovation and
leading high-quality development; we must accelerate the building of a digital China,
forcefully develop the digital economy, promote the upgrading of the industrial base and the
modernization of industry chains, promote the simultaneous development of new forms of
industrialization, informatization, urbanization, and agricultural modernization; it is a
period for deepening consolidation of advancing modernization of the national governance
system and governance capabilities through informatization; we must accelerate the
building of a digital society, greatly enhance modernization levels of data-based national
governance capabilities and transform the structural advantages of Socialism with Chinese
Characteristics into powerful national governance abilities; it is a period for important
breakthroughs in building a cyber superpower and a digital China and for enhancing
international discursive power; we must vigorously advocate building a community of
common destiny in cyberspace, vigorously participate in building a system of international
norms for cyberspace, and promote that the development of the Internet enriches the
peoples of the world. Standing at a new historical starting point, we must profoundly
understand the new characteristics and new requirements brought by the change in our
country’s major social contradiction, profoundly understand the new contradictions and
new challenges brought by the intricate and complex international environment,
profoundly understand the new opportunities and new spaces brought by the sustained
deepening of the information revolution, strengthen awareness of opportunities and
awareness of risks, maintain our strategic orientation and baseline thinking, ever more
powerfully and effectively advance the building of core technologies, industrial ecosystems,
the digital economy, digital society, and digital government construction, forge new

10
advantages for a digital country, and strive to realize development of ever higher quality,
greater efficiency, greater fairness, greater sustainability, and greater security.
