Eleventh five-year plan
Eleventh Five-Year Plan (2006–2010) of the People's Republic of China
The 11th Five-Year Plan of China, officially the 11th Five-Year Plan for Economic and Social Development of the People's Republic of China, was a set of economic goals designed to strengthen the Chinese economy between 2006 and 2010.
The planning philosophy for the 11th Five-Year Plan was significantly shaped by a mid-term evaluation of the 10th Five-Year Plan.[1]: 134 The 11th Five-Year Plan introduced a new category of "binding targets" (yueshuxing zhibiao) intended as government promises.[1]: 134–135 These binding targets have since been used especially in non-economic policy areas like environmental protection and land management.[1]: 150 Of 22 targets listed in the 11th Five-Year Plan, eight of them were binding targets.[1]: 184 These binding targets were incorporated into the criteria for local cadre performance evaluations.[1]: 184 The Plan also reflected a change in terminology to the allocation of administrative resourced via "programs" rather than "plans."[1]: 134
