The tenth China faculty study tour will focus on the new developments in China’s Five Year Plan (China’s 12th strategic plan), approved March 14, 2011 by the PRC National People’s Congress. The plan depends on massive infrastructure projects and export driven growth as primary models and calls for GDP annual growth of 7%. But it also turns its attention to “quality growth” and a focus on the individual. The plan introduces the following themes. Knowing these themes will help us gain a better understanding of the opportunities, challenges, and important changes in China.
