• As the year turns, a new chapter unfolds. The 2026 New Year Message looks back on the solid progress of 2025 and outlines the development blueprint for the new year, conveying a warm and firm spirit of forging ahead. As the final year of the 14th Five-Year Plan, 2025 witnessed steady economic growth, deep integration of science, technology and industry, frequent breakthroughs in AI, chip R&D and other fields, smooth progress of major scientific and technological projects such as Tianwen-2, and continuous improvement of people's livelihood security, bringing people a growing sense of gain.

• These achievements stem from the hard work and dedication of every striver, laying a solid foundation for the new journey. As the starting year of the 15th Five-Year Plan, 2026 will continue to promote high-quality development, deepen reform and opening up, drive innovation and creation, and ensure that the fruits of development better benefit the public. From individuals to collectives, only by focusing on goals and moving forward steadily can we write a better chapter in the new year and turn grand visions into reality.
