“The 14th Five-Year Plan period is the first five-year phase after China has completed the building of a moderately prosperous society in all respects and achieved its first centenary goal; it is a time to build socialism with Chinese characteristics on a comprehensive scale and move forward toward the second centenary goal. It is also a crucial period for Inner Mongolia to pursue a path of high-quality development focused on ecological priority and green growth, thereby achieving further and greater progress. The 13th plenary session of the 10th Committee of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region in China studied and implemented in depth the spirit of the Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee of the Party, and put forward the following recommendations regarding the formulation of the 14th Five-Year Plan for national economic and social development as well as the long-term goals for 2035. I. Build a moderately prosperous society in all respects as scheduled, and write a new chapter in Inner Mongolia’s development on the new journey of building a modern socialist country. (1) Achieve decisive success in building a moderately prosperous society in all respects. “During the 13th Five-Year Plan period, faced with complex economic changes, historical issues, and the severe consequences of extensive development patterns, as well as the serious impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, under the kind care of **** and the strong leadership of ****, the Party committee of the autonomous region united and led people of all ethnic groups in the region to keep the instructions in mind, strive with gratitude, and make significant progress in the development of various fields. The economic structure continues to improve, with per capita GDP exceeding $10,000; the urbanization rate of the permanent population is over 64%. Grain and livestock production remain stable and productive, while the quality of development in industries with distinctive advantages is steadily improving. The well-being of people of all ethnic groups continues to improve; all poor individuals have been lifted out of poverty, and all impoverished counties, banners, and villages have been removed from the list of poor areas. Residents’ incomes are growing at a faster pace than the economic growth rate, the standard of basic public services in urban and rural areas has improved significantly, and the COVID-19 pandemic has been effectively controlled. The quality of the ecological environment has continued to improve; prominent ecological and environmental issues have been gradually resolved, and the phased goals and tasks of the battle against pollution have been successfully accomplished. The capacity to ensure infrastructure development continues to improve, with key projects in transportation, energy transmission channels, and water diversion being successively implemented. Reform and opening up have been further deepened, governance in the region is being carried out in accordance with the law, governance capabilities continue to improve, and society remains harmonious and stable. The comprehensive and strict governance of the Party has progressed further, significant results have been achieved in the special rectification of illegal and irregular activities in the coal resource sector, and the political ecosystem continues to improve. Everyone throughout the region must redouble their efforts and press on with determination to ensure that we win the battle against poverty on schedule and fully build a moderately prosperous society in all respects. This will lay a solid foundation for writing a new chapter in Inner Mongolia’s development in the new era and on the new journey. (II) The new stage of development brings new opportunities and challenges. The world is undergoing profound changes on a scale not seen in a century, and our country has entered a phase of high-quality development. The opportunities and challenges faced by Inner Mongolia’s development have also undergone new changes. With the in-depth implementation of a series of major strategies, our region enjoys multiple overlapping development opportunities and possesses various favorable conditions for better promoting high-quality development that prioritizes ecological conservation and green growth. In particular, the accelerated establishment of a new development paradigm creates significant opportunities for our region to transform its comparative advantages in terms of resources, ecology, and location into advantages for development. Inner Mongolia has the confidence, capability, and conditions to achieve greater success in this new stage of development. At the same time, it must be recognized that Inner Mongolia still has many prominent weaknesses in its development and faces numerous risks and challenges. The comprehensive development level of our region still does not meet the requirements of the new stage of development. There are prominent bottlenecks in infrastructure, a significant backlog in public services, shortcomings in ensuring people’s well-being, and weaknesses in social governance. The business environment needs to be improved urgently, and the tasks related to ecological protection are arduous. Deep-seated structural problems and institutional contradictions have yet to be resolved. In particular, the pressures arising from fiscal and financial risks, constraints related to resources and the environment, insufficient capabilities in technological innovation, reliance on traditional development models, and an economy dependent on certain industries remain severe. It is urgent and challenging to shift development patterns, adjust the economic structure, and improve quality; thus, there is still a long way to go in comprehensively advancing modernization. Party organizations at all levels and the vast number of Party members and cadres throughout the region must bear in mind the “two overall situations,” deeply understand the new characteristics and requirements arising from changes in the principal contradiction in Chinese society, accurately grasp the evolving opportunities and challenges. They should enhance their awareness of both opportunities and risks, promote their own development while serving the overall interests of the Party and the country, carry out work creatively based on actual conditions, and seize this crucial strategic opportunity period to strive for a new landscape of development. (III) By 2035, basically achieve the long-term goals of socialist modernization. In line with ****’s strategic plans for achieving the second centenary goal and the long-term objective of basically realizing socialist modernization, by 2035 Inner Mongolia will, together with the rest of the country, have basically achieved socialist modernization. The comprehensive economic strength and the level of green development have seen a significant boost, with the total economic volume as well as the per capita income of urban and rural residents reaching new heights ； New-type industrialization, informatization, urbanization, and modernization of agriculture and animal husbandry have been largely achieved; a regional innovation system with distinct advantages, as well as a modern industrial system, a new-type urban system, and an infrastructure system that align with strategic objectives, have all been fully established ； The modernization of the governance system and governance capabilities has been largely achieved; the great unity among all ethnic groups has been further strengthened; a law-based Inner Mongolia has been basically established, and efforts to create a safe Inner Mongolia have been comprehensively deepened ； Cultural soft power has been significantly enhanced, with the quality of people from all ethnic groups and the level of civilization across society reaching new heights ； Green production and lifestyle patterns have been widely adopted, economic and social development has undergone a comprehensive green transformation, the ecological environment has improved significantly, and a beautiful Inner Mongolia has been essentially established ； Create a new pattern of regional cooperation within the country and opening up towards the north, and establish an open platform that facilitates the aggregation and distribution of resources as well as the integration of various factors across the entire region ； Per capita GDP ranks among the highest in the country; the middle-income group has expanded significantly; basic public services have been made equalized; the gaps in development between urban and rural areas as well as between different regions and among residents have narrowed markedly; the lives of people of all ethnic groups have improved, and more substantial progress has been made in the comprehensive development of individuals and the common prosperity of the people. (IV) General requirements for economic and social development during the 14th Five-Year Plan period. Holding high the great banner of socialism with Chinese characteristics, we will thoroughly implement the spirit of the Party’s * and the second, third, fourth, and fifth plenary sessions of the 19th Central Committee. Guided by Marxism-Leninism, * Thought, Deng Xiaoping Theory, the important thought of “Three Represents,” the Scientific Outlook on Development, and ** Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, we will fully apply the Party’s basic theories, lines, and strategies. We will fully implement the important speeches, instructions, and directives of **** regarding work in Inner Mongolia, advance the overall layout of “five-sphere integration” in a coordinated manner, and promote the strategic plan of “four comprehensives.” Adhering to the Party’s overall leadership, putting the people at the center, upholding the new development philosophy, continuing to deepen reform and opening up, adopting a systematic approach, and maintaining a steady pace of progress, we will take high-quality development as our theme, deepen supply-side structural reforms as our main focus, rely on innovation and reform as our driving force, and aim to meet the people’s growing needs for a better life. We will balance development and security, resolutely pursue a path of high-quality development that gives priority to ecology and green development, firmly adhere to the strategic roles of “two barriers,” “two bases,” and “one bridgehead,” accelerate the construction of a modern economic system, contribute to integrating into the new development pattern, promote unity and progress among all ethnic groups, advance the modernization of the governance system and governance capabilities, and achieve development that is of higher quality, more efficient, fairer, more sustainable, and safer. We will make the northern border region of the motherland even more beautiful, and write a new chapter in Inner Mongolia’s development on the new journey of building a modern socialist **. (5) Main objectives for economic and social development during the 14th Five-Year Plan period.

The safeguards for development have become more robust, and the security barrier along the northern border of the motherland has been made even more solid. II. Vigorously implement the innovation-driven development strategy, and resolutely pursue a path of high-quality development that gives priority to ecology and green development. We must uphold the central role of innovation in the overall process of modernization, using technological innovation as a strategic backbone for this approach to high-quality development. It is necessary to foster new drivers of growth for such development, and to promote an ecological and green-oriented layout for national territory and regional economies. This will lay a decisive foundation for better adapting to the new stage of development, fully implementing the new development concepts, and contributing to the integration into the new development framework. (1) Focus on fostering and strengthening new drivers of development to comprehensively enhance scientific and technological innovation capabilities. Focusing closely on the \"four orientations,\" we will vigorously implement the \"Revitalizing Inner Mongolia through Science and Technology\" initiative, making coordinated efforts to strengthen the foundations of innovation, the entities involved in innovation, the resources available for innovation, and the innovation environment. We will promote close integration among science and technology, education, industry, and finance, build a regional innovation system with distinct characteristics and advantages, and drive the shift in development from being driven primarily by factors to being driven primarily by innovation. Carry out initiatives to boost investment in research and development, strengthen the assessment of investment levels in research and experimental development, establish a **mechanism for guaranteed growth in such investments as well as incentives for multi-channel funding from society, encourage enterprises to increase their R&D spending, guide financial and private capital into the field of innovation, continuously raise R&D investment significantly, and gradually narrow the gap with the national average. We will develop distinctive innovation platform carriers, and establish high-standard technology innovation centers for the dairy industry and rare earth new materials. In key industrial sectors, we will foster a number of key laboratories. Additionally, we will plan and construct autonomous region-level key laboratories, engineering research centers, industrial innovation centers, and technology innovation centers, thereby forming a comprehensive innovation platform system. High-quality development will be pursued for the Hohhot-Baotou-Ordos **Independent Innovation Demonstration Zone, the Ordos **Sustainable Development Agenda Innovation Demonstration Zone, and the Bayannur **Agricultural High-Tech Industry Demonstration Zone. Initiatives aimed at \"improving the quality and raising the level\" of high-tech zones at the national level, as well as efforts to \"foster excellence\" in high-tech zones at the autonomous region level, will be carried out to create several hubs where innovation resources can converge. Strengthen the role of enterprises as the main drivers of innovation, enhance their technological innovation capabilities, encourage the aggregation of various innovation elements within enterprises, promote deep integration among industry, academia, and research institutions, and support enterprises in leading the formation of innovation consortia, building common technology platforms, and undertaking major scientific and technological projects. Implement a \"double growth\" initiative for high-tech enterprises and small and medium-sized technology-based firms, leverage the leading and supporting role of large enterprises, support innovative small and medium-sized enterprises to become key hubs for innovation, develop specialized co-creation spaces, and promote integrated innovation across all stages of the industrial chain as well as among large, medium, and small enterprises. Carry out major scientific and technological innovation initiatives, focusing on key areas such as high-quality energy resources, ecological environment protection, industries with distinctive advantages, and the defense science and technology industry. Major scientific and technological projects are deployed in a concentrated manner to gather high-quality innovative resources; a number of key core technologies are overcome, and a range of innovative products are developed. The effectiveness of transferring and applying scientific and technological achievements is significantly improved, with innovation chains being established around industrial chains and industrial chain hubs being arranged in line with those innovation chains. Stimulate the innovative vitality of talents, align with **major talent initiatives, improve the mechanisms for talent cultivation, recruitment, evaluation, mobility, and motivation, enhance the “Grassland Talents” program and the excellence talent education and training scheme, attract leading scientific and technological experts, highly sought-after professionals, technical specialists, and high-level innovation teams, and establish a new talent development framework featuring a central hub and multiple locations. Vigorously promote the development of application-oriented undergraduate institutions, support the growth of high-level research universities, adjust academic disciplines and programs in line with the needs of high-quality development, and enhance the ability to independently cultivate innovative, application-oriented, and skilled talents. Deepen the reform of the science and technology system, improve the governance framework for scientific and technological innovation, optimize the mechanisms for organizing and implementing scientific and technology projects, adopt systems such as competitive project selection, targeted commissioning, and task-based assignment, and promote the integrated allocation of resources for projects, research bases, talent, and funding in key areas. Improve mechanisms for incentivizing and supporting innovation, optimize the systems for protecting and providing services related to intellectual property, establish a revenue distribution mechanism that fully reflects the value of innovative elements such as knowledge and technology, and refine the systems for sharing the benefits arising from research personnel’s occupational inventions. Accelerate the reform of research institutions, expand their autonomy in research, eliminate the reliance on papers, professional titles, educational qualifications, and awards, and establish a scientific and technological talent evaluation system focused on innovation ability, quality, practical results, and contributions. Strengthen political guidance and recruitment of talent, promote the scientific spirit and the craftsmanship ethos, and foster a social atmosphere that encourages, motivates, and embraces innovation. (II) Give prominence to the principle of giving priority to ecology and green development to foster a new pattern for the development and protection of territorial space. We must adhere to the principle of prioritizing environmental protection over large-scale development. Based on the carrying capacity of resources and the environment, we should leverage the comparative advantages of each region to gradually form three major spatial patterns: ecological function zones, major production areas for agricultural and livestock products, and urbanized areas. This will help to protect the ecological environment to the greatest extent possible and foster advantages in green development. Clarify the primary functional roles; assign the main function of ecological protection areas to preserving the ecological environment and providing ecological services. Strengthen the implementation of policies and measures related to ecological protection and restoration, as well as related engineering projects, in order to facilitate a gradual and orderly migration of the population to towns and cities where they can settle down ； The primary functions of the main areas for agricultural and livestock production should be focused on strengthening ecological environment protection, promoting sustainable development in agriculture and animal husbandry, and providing high-quality, green agricultural and livestock products. It is necessary to optimize the layout of agriculture and animal husbandry, drive their transformation toward higher quality and efficiency, and ensure food security. Large-scale, intensive industrialization and urbanization activities are prohibited; the development of prime farmland is forbidden, and the use of prime grasslands is strictly restricted ； The main function of urbanized areas should be to provide industrial and service products, on the premise of protecting prime farmland and ecological spaces; this will facilitate the efficient concentration of the economy and population, as well as the high-quality clustering of characteristic and competitive industries, thereby giving rise to new growth poles and growth belts. Strengthen the regulation of land use, regarding the \"three zones and three lines\" as non-negotiable boundaries for adjusting the economic structure, planning industrial development, and advancing urbanization. Optimize the layout of key infrastructure, productive capacities, and public resources based on the designated functional roles of different areas, in order to create a new pattern of land use and development that features clear functional distinctions, complementary advantages, and high-quality growth. (III) Coordinate the differentiated and coordinated development of the region in line with the functions designated for various functional zones. By emphasizing ecological priority and green development, and in line with the requirements for establishing a new pattern of land use and spatial development and protection, regional development policies are formulated accurately, the layout of industrial bases is adjusted and optimized, thereby promoting differentiated and coordinated development across the eastern, central, and western regions of the autonomous region. Efforts should be made to help the eastern allied cities and prefectures fully leverage their green ecological advantages to promote high-quality development. Protecting vast grasslands, forests, rivers, lakes, and wetlands must be regarded as a key task. Agricultural and livestock product production bases should be developed with high standards. A green industrial system should be established, with eco-friendly agriculture and animal husbandry as well as ecotourism serving as its main pillars. Leveraging the Manzhouli and Erenhot ports, efforts should be made to develop a broader port-oriented economy. The approval of new energy- and resource-based industrial projects must be strictly controlled, while emerging industries characterized by low consumption, minimal emissions, and high quality and efficiency should be actively fostered. This will help create distinctive advantages for a green and open economic development model. It aims to help the cities in the central region expand their environmental capacity and ecological space, and to promote high-quality development by building on their industrial foundations and cluster advantages. The goal is to raise the level of these industries and their development potential. Hohhot will serve as a hub for the development of a modern service-based economy, while Baotou and Ordos will be focused on becoming bases for energy and strategic resources. Ulanqab will function as a logistics hub and a strategic location for ports. By establishing **independent innovation zones, these regions will enhance their ability to develop through collaboration. A modern industrial system characterized by efficient division of labor, differentiated development, orderly competition, and mutual integration will be created, thereby forming strong and dynamic drivers of growth. We will help the western leagues and cities address their shortcomings in ecological environment protection and promote high-quality development. We will give top priority to strengthening ecological protection and desertification control in the Yellow River Basin, intensify efforts to prevent and control air pollution in Wuhai and its surrounding areas, strictly enforce development restrictions in ecologically extremely vulnerable regions, accelerate the transformation of Wuhai as a resource-exhausted city, advance the modernization of the Hetao Irrigation District to increase the supply of green, organic, and high-end agricultural and livestock products, jointly develop distinctive tourism industries, and collaboratively foster alternative industries, thereby enhancing the overall competitiveness of regional development. Improve mechanisms for regional interaction and mutual assistance, benefit compensation, and market integration, and optimize mechanisms for regional coordination, policy regulation, and development support to better promote common development across all regions. (IV) Adhere to concentrated and integrated development to foster a new pattern of urbanization, and comprehensively advance rural revitalization. In line with the needs of ecological and environmental protection, and taking into account the reality of a vast territory with a sparse population and scattered production factors, a new pattern of urbanization characterized by multi-center leadership, multi-level coordination, and interaction among various nodes should be established. This approach aims to reduce human activity’s impact on natural areas, optimize the allocation of resources, and create beautiful and livable urban and rural living environments. Advance steadily the people-centered new urbanization, focusing on the development of the Hohhot-Baotou-Ordos-Ulaanbaatar city cluster as well as the regional central cities of Chifeng and Tongliao; accelerate the integration of Hohhot, Baotou, Ordos, and Ulaanbaatar; steadily enhance the capacity of small and medium-sized cities; and promote coordinated development among large, medium-sized cities, and small towns. Implement urban renewal initiatives by coordinating urban planning, construction, and management. Adhere to the principle of developing cities and determining population levels based on water resources, strictly control the boundaries of urban development, advance projects for urban ecological restoration and functional improvement, strengthen the protection of historical culture to shape the city’s character, enhance the renovation of old residential areas, the energy efficiency improvement of existing buildings, and community development and management. Improve the housing market system and welfare framework, strengthen the provision of basic public services, and accelerate the process of integrating rural and agricultural migrant populations into urban life. Fully implement the rural revitalization strategy by giving priority to the development of agriculture and animal husbandry as well as rural and pastoral areas. Promote all-round revitalization of rural industries, talent, culture, ecology, and organizations, and accelerate the modernization of agriculture, animal husbandry, and rural and pastoral areas. Implement rural development initiatives by giving priority to rural development in the process of modernization; enhance the comprehensive service capabilities of county seats as well as the role of towns and villages as regional centers that serve farmers and herders; promote pilot projects for the modernization of pastoral areas; extend public services to rural and pastoral regions; improve the mechanisms for decision-making, funding, construction, and operation and maintenance of public facilities; and create productive fields, ecological homes, and comfortable living environments for farmers and herders. III. Maintain and strengthen the strategic commitment to building an ecological civilization, and solidify China’s important ecological security barrier in the north. Adhering to the principle that lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets, we will enhance environmental protection across all regions and throughout the entire process, promote green transformation in all sectors and in every aspect, safeguard the boundaries of natural ecological security, foster green patterns of production and living, and construct a vast green Great Wall along the northern borders of the country. (1) Strengthen ecosystem protection. We will coordinate the systematic management of mountains, waters, forests, farmlands, lakes, grasslands, and deserts; enhance the ecological corridors and grassland ecosystem functions in the Greater Khingan Range, Yinshan Mountains, and Helan Mountains; strengthen the protection and management of aquatic ecosystems in river basins such as the Yellow River, Xiliao River, Nen River, Hei River, as well as the “one lake and two seas”; improve the systems for preventing and controlling desertification in the “five major deserts” and “five major sandy areas”; and establish an all-encompassing ecological security pattern integrating grasslands, forests, rivers, lakes, wetlands, deserts, and sandy lands. Protecting grasslands and forests should be regarded as a top priority. It is necessary to strictly implement the basic grassland protection system, enforce policies on subsidies and incentives for grassland ecological conservation, improve the systems governing the balance between livestock numbers and grassland resources as well as the prohibition and rotation of grazing. Additionally, efforts should be made to assess the ecological carrying capacity of grasslands and evaluate the health of grassland ecosystems, while intensifying efforts to convert degraded pastureland back into grassland. It is strictly prohibited to engage in random excavation on the grasslands or to launch industrial projects such as mineral resource development; mines, wind power, photovoltaic projects, etc., that have been approved for construction and operation must cease operations upon the expiration of their permits. Scientifically carry out large-scale efforts to green up the country, implement projects such as the construction of protective forest systems in the Three North regions, the protection of natural forest resources, the conservation of public welfare forests, and the precise improvement of forest quality. Advance the conversion of reclaimed forests and grasslands back into forests and grasslands, strengthen forest tending and the restoration of degraded forests, and enhance the control of pests and diseases in forests and grasslands.
