In this episode of the Essential Geopolitics podcast from Stratfor, a RANE company, the discussion turns to China's latest five-year plan. In March, China's top leaders gathered in Beijing to announce their budget and their big economic goals for 2021, and the next five years. The tradition carries back to the days of Mao Tse-tung. They've changed as the country's economy has changed and the latest announced plan is seen as ambitious, given the ongoing fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic. Emily Donahue speaks with Chase Blazek, Stratfor Asia-Pacific analyst at RANE. More From Stratfor:
