We know that China has been adopting Five-year plans since 1953; they are a system of planned initiatives that the country seeks to pursue in its future socio-economic development. The Fourteenth Five-Year Plan (FYP) of China (2021– 2025), approved in March 2021, is the main topic of this article not only because of the important strategic and geopolitical place of China in the modern world, but also because of the need for such publications in our country. We can read that this five-year plan sets key milestones for China, but also for every other country in the world: tackling poverty, trade expansion, investment in science and technology, environment protection, etc. The aim here is to consider not only the economic and social aspect of the planned development, but also to look for the roots of modern Chinese politics in traditional culture and ancient Chinese philosophy. In today's global world, it is not possible for any nation or culture to exist in isolation and develop on its own. That is why Chinese people say that China needs the world, but the world also needs China, especially the modern world.
