The Chinese Communist Party (CCP)’s 14th five-year plan period (2021-25) was approved on March 11. 

China’s five-year plans act as something of a social and economic roadmap for the country and have been issued by the CCP since 1953. 

Recently, the 14th five-year plan for textiles was released, which underscores the nation’s commitment to accelerating technological innovation and standardisation across the board, including the adoption of “green” and increasingly digitised measures. The initial establishment of an industry-wide big data centre for textiles and apparel was singled out as an example of China’s early, existing success in the area of industrial digitisation.
