Despite the rhetoric of the new Five-Year Plan – which, like the previous one, aims to increase the share of consumption in GDP – the path of least resistance is the status quo. The new plan’s details reveal continued reliance on investment, including public housing, to support growth, rather than faster currency appreciation, substantial fiscal transfers to households, taxation and/or privatization of state-owned enterprises (SOEs), liberalization of the household registration (hukou) system, or an easing of financial repression.
虽然新计划也像上一个五年计划那样宣称要增大消费占GDP的比例——但对政府来说，政治阻力最小的做法依然是维持现状。公开发布的新计划细节也显示：经济的增长依然要仰仗投资（包括兴建公共住房）来支撑，而不是以实施更迅速的货币升值，面向家庭的大规模财政转移支付，税收和/或国有企业的私有化，解除户口制度限制以及放宽财政管制的方式来实现。
