BEIJING (AP) — China’s ruling Communist Party said Thursday it would focus on speeding up self-reliance in science and technology in the face of “profound and complex” changes and rising “uncertainty.”
The announcement came in a communique at the end of a four-day meeting on the party’s next five-year economic plan for the country.
China also announced a replacement for the position of its second-highest-ranking general Thursday, as the Communist Party concluded the fourth plenum.
The Communist Party’s Central Committee elevated Zhang Shengmin to vice chair of the Central Military Commission. Zhang is already a member of the commission and holds the rank of general in the People’s Liberation Army’s Rocket Force.
