Plans can't keep up with changes. During the implementation of the Fifth Five-Year Plan, a major historical turning point from the "Cultural Revolution" to the smashing of the Gang of Four was crossed, and the formulation and implementation of the plan changed. It was formulated in 1974, without an independent text, and was included in the 1976- 1985 Ten-year Plan for National Economic Development. This program was not published until February 1977, and the "five-year plan" shrank for only three years.
The fifth five-year plan has generally gone through two stages. In the first stage, from 1976 to 1978, the third plenary session of the 11th CPC Central Committee, economic construction was in a period of recovery and development. The "New Great Leap Forward" around 1978 led to the imbalance of national economic structure and low efficiency.
The second stage is after the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. The national economy is in a period of comprehensive adjustment, and the indicators of the fifth five-year plan are also adjusted accordingly. By the end of 1980, the main proportion of the national economy began to increase, and production and construction also made great progress.
The Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Communist Party of China is an epoch-making plenary session in the history of China's production. This meeting decisively stopped using the slogan of "taking class struggle as the key link" and decided to shift the focus of the whole party's work from 65438 to socialist modernization in 0979.
The Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee discussed agricultural issues and decided to send the Central Committee's Decision on Accelerating Agricultural Development (Draft) and the Regulations on the Work of Rural People's Communes (Draft) to all provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government for discussion and trial implementation, thus opening the prelude to China's socialist economic reform.
1978 The Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Communist Party of China re-established the correct line of seeking truth from facts, determined the strategic shift of the focus of the work of the party and the state, and realized a great turning point in China's history since the founding of New China. Put forward: "To realize the four modernizations, we should not only greatly improve the social productive forces, but also change the production relations and superstructure that are incompatible with the development of productive forces in many aspects, and change all the incompatible management methods, activities and ways of thinking, so it is comprehensive. After the fifth five-year plan, China's five-year plan has turned a new page.
