Seems positively skewed, especially the discussion of the Great Leap Forward. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 140.247.185.88 (talk) 13:02, 17 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Under the 9th FYP, we have this: "Its goals included capping population growth at 300 million," which is silly. The footnote, moreover, refers to a book by Pan Letian about the 1958-62 period. Something is very wrong here! DOR (HK) (talk) 07:03, 6 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
At the press conference announcing the Five-Year Plan by the Chinese prime minister, Wen Jiabou, on March 14, 2011, there was no mention of a massive security action reportedly taken in recent weeks to stifle calls for a jasmine revolution in China, that called for "Sunday-afternoon protests in city centres".[1]

Just for consistencies sake, on the dab page Five-year plans, all entries except China now have "Five-Year Plans ...." (Y & P capitalised) in the title. I moved a 'redirect to section' for Ethiopia to achieve the same effect. This is a much more prominent page, hence bringing it to talk for consensus.
Now I have found out that the page was moved from that title 2010 [1]. Opinions? - 220 of Borg 05:09, 18 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I propose adding data on costs and benefits on China's more recent Five-year Plans from the Oxford China Study. Please note I am a co-author of the cited publication. I therefore kindly suggest that another editor takes a look at my proposed edit to check and verify that it’s okay and to execute it if it is. If it is not okay, kindly let me know how I can improve it, many thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Atifansar (talk • contribs) 19:26, 16 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Please note - I have reverted the edit. The editor in question may wish to review the relevant guidelines, (The following text is attributed to a reversion answer by The Gnome, as I find it to be particularly helpful - Rmvd student paper citation lacking notability; Wikipedia is not a place where essays are published, nor a scientific journal). Else, it may be an issue of undue weight. Relisting content for further discussion. Regards, VB00 (talk) 13:02, 3 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Economic track-record of China's Five-Year PlansChina's Five Year Plans have undoubtedly mobilized vast resources, particularly to build new infrastructure. A 2016 study from University of Oxford's Saïd Business School, for example, found that thanks in large part to targets set in Five Year Plans, China is the world’s biggest spender on fixed assets in absolute terms. China spent US$4.6 trillion in 2014 accounting for 24.8 per cent of worldwide total investments and more than double the entire GDP of India. By way of comparison, China’s total domestic investment was merely 2.1 per cent of the world total in 1982. China has been in the grips of the biggest investment boom in history for over 15 years. However, the study also found that over half of the infrastructure investments in China have destroyed, not generated economic value. The study – authored by Atif Ansar, Bent Flyvbjerg, Alexander Budzier and Daniel Lunn – is based on an analysis of 95 large Chinese road and rail transport projects and 806 transport projects built in rich democracies, the largest dataset of its kind. ‘From our sample, the evidence suggests that for over half of the infrastructure investments in China made in the last three decades the costs are larger than the benefits they generate, which means the projects destroy economic value instead of generating it,’ comments Dr Atif Ansar, co-author of the study. The pattern of cost overruns and benefit shortfalls in China’s infrastructure investments is linked with China’s growing debt problem. The study estimated that cost overruns have equalled approximately one-third of China’s US$28.2 trillion debt pile. China’s debt-to-GDP ratio exceeds that of many advanced economies, such as the United States, and all developing economies for which data are available, e.g., Brazil, India, and Nigeria. Because many corporations and financial institutions in China are state owned, revised calculation of China’s implicit government debt as a proportion of GDP suggests that China’s is the second-most indebted government in the world after Japan’s. Extraordinary monetary expansion has accompanied China’s piling debts: China’s M2 broad money grew by US$12.9 trillion in 2007–13, greater than the rest of the world combined. The result is increased financial and economic fragility. [1] --- |

A move to Five-year plans of the Communist Party of China is proposed.
I am not so convinced and believe the idea merits discussion first.
The proposed page title is less WP:concise. I am not so sure "...of [CPC/CCP]" is a common name either. One view is that "...of party" although longer is more WP:precise. I am also not so convinced of this, especially as it raises the contention of whether the correct rendering in English is Communist Party of China or Chinese Communist Party. I am someone who concludes that CPC is more correct, but in any case it strikes me as good to avoid the CPC/CCP article naming contentions unless there is more meaningful benefit.
I am open-minded on the issue but tend to think the article name should stay as is. If the consensus is ultimately to change it to "...of [party]," I would strongly favor starting fresh with the correct CPC rendering. JArthur1984 (talk) 14:00, 26 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
