US fear of losing tech advantage imperils realization of 5G's potential

THE COMMERCIALIZATION OF 5G is being rolled out worldwide, which is a little earlier than the public's expectation. Whether nowadays 5G technology and facilities, especially the base stations, can support the commercialization of 5G and eventually benefit the world has drawn wide public concern. Beijing Youth Daily comments:

According to the timetable for China's 5G commercialization, China's major telecommunication provider China Mobile will officially launch its 5G network by the end of this year, and it is expected that the network will cover 300 cities next year.

Many countries in the world want to develop their 5G networks as the technology will promote the deep integration of the internet, big data, artificial intelligence and real economy, develop the digital economy and sharing economy, and cultivate a new growth pole based on a technological revolution centered on 5G technology. This has made it an area of fierce competition.
