China's parliament rolls out economic, political blue-print; here's what you need to know

March 5 (Reuters) - China's political elite gathered in Beijing on Thursday as President Xi Jinping unveiled a sweeping roadmap for the country's economic and political future, delivered against ‌a backdrop of sharpening tech competition with Washington and mounting geopolitical friction.

The National People's Congress, ‌China's rubber‑stamp legislature, rolled out its Five‑Year Plan outlining goals for growth, budgets, industrial policy and defence - signalling Xi's determination ​to propel the world's second-biggest economy toward technological dominance.

Here are the main highlights from the NPC:

GDP, BUDGET PRIORITIES

China is looking to grow its economy at a 4.5%-5% pace, a touch below the 5% rate achieved last year, opening the door to greater efforts to rebalance the economy.

Beijing also plans steady stimulus to ‌rev up an economy stuck in ⁠a lower post-pandemic gear, setting a budget deficit of 4.0% of gross domestic product, similar to last year.

HIGH-TECH DRIVE AS US RIVALRY SHARPENS

Aiming for technological supremacy amid ⁠a fierce rivalry with the U.S., Beijing is accelerating efforts to achieve greater tech self-reliance; and as the world's largest producer of rare earths, plans are also afoot to strengthen the competitiveness of these crucial minerals ​used in ​products ranging from electric vehicles to aircraft engines and ​defence technologies.

DEFENCE CAPACITY

China will improve combat ‌readiness and accelerate the development of "advanced combat capabilities", Premier Li Qiang said, boosting defence spending by 7% in 2026.

Military observers are watching closely as Beijing pushes to modernise its forces by 2035 and project military power amid the backdrop of rising regional tensions, including over Taiwan, and global geopolitical strains.

FINANCIAL SYSTEM

China will inject 300 billion yuan ($43.59 billion) into state-owned banks this year and deepen reforms of state-owned ‌financial enterprises, moving to bolster its financial system amid a ​prolonged property crisis and deflationary pressure.

Promising a "childbirth-friendly society" in the ​next five years, Beijing aims to address ​concerns over employment, education and medical care as an ageing and rapidly ‌shrinking population complicates its larger economic goals.

FOOD SECURITY

Grain ​production capacity will be ​raised to around 725 million metric tons over 2026-2030 in efforts to meet the nation's long-term food security objectives, highlighting its heavy reliance on imports of key agricultural products such as ​soybeans, with the U.S. its ‌second-largest supplier.

EMISSION GOALS

The government plans to accelerate cuts in carbon intensity over the next five ​years, marking a shift from targeting energy intensity of its economy to directly targeting ​carbon intensity.

South Africa seeks local production of Gilead's HIV prevention drug

By Jennifer Rigby

LONDON, March 5 (Reuters) - South Africa is asking local drugmakers to start a process to make Gilead Sciences' long-acting HIV prevention drug, lenacapavir, domestically, in a push to bring production ‌to the region where it is most needed.

The government is working alongside international partners, including Unitaid ‌and the United States Pharmacopoeia, to identify which local company could make the twice-yearly injection safely, effectively and affordably, and provide any support ​needed. They will then recommend that company to Gilead.

Gilead, a U.S. pharmaceutical company, granted six voluntary licences in 2024 to generic manufacturers across India, Egypt and Pakistan to produce and supply the drug to 120 low- and middle-income countries. These included South Africa, although there was criticism that no South African drugmakers were included.

A licence for a South African ‌company would be the seventh such deal, ⁠potentially boosting access to a drug many HIV/AIDS experts have said could help bring an end to the 44-year-old pandemic by slashing the numbers of new infections.

Gilead said it ⁠has been open to adding an additional voluntary license for local manufacturing in Sub-Saharan Africa. "Gilead will review the proposals and assess whether required quality standards can be met before any voluntary license is granted," the company said in an email.

AFRICA ​REMAINS EPICENTRE ​OF HIV PANDEMIC

Despite progress, the African region remains the epicentre ​of the HIV pandemic. South Africa has ‌the highest number of people affected at 8 million – around one in five adults – living with the virus. Several companies in South Africa already make HIV treatments or sterile injectables, like Aspen Pharmacare.

Paul Mashatile, chair of the South African National AIDS Council and deputy president, said making the drug in South Africa would benefit the whole region.

"Africa can no longer rely on medicines produced elsewhere for diseases that affect us most," said Kenyan President William Ruto, ‌African Union lead on local manufacturing of health commodities.

ACCESS CHALLENGES

In the ​past, low- and middle-income countries waited years for HIV drugs available ​in richer nations. Lenacapavir is already available in ​some African countries through an initiative supported by The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and ‌Malaria and the U.S. government, but demand is ​expected to outstrip supply until ​the generic manufacturers start making the drug.

Those agreements also faced some criticism for excluding middle-income countries like Brazil. A South African company could try to expand access there, too, Unitaid said.

"It's an opportunity to ​open the door further," said Unitaid's director ‌of program, Robert Matiru, although he said a licence for a South African company was the ​key aim.
