US-China 5G rivalry heats as we prepare for 6G

The 5G competition between the US and China has intensified as preparations for 6G continue. The US was the first country to utilize 5G in 2018, and its four major carriers began offering the service across the nation in 2019. South Korea was the second to establish its 5G network, which began the trend of Asian countries offering better and more advanced 5G services compared to the US.China, in particular, boasts the world’s largest 5G network both in terms of its production and widespread installation, thanks to significant state support. The 5G technology enables real-time processing of a high volume of artificial intelligence (AI)-generated data, the Internet of Things (IoT) applications, and automation. Meanwhile, 6G aims to create a more advanced technical infrastructure, while it is expected to be introduced to commercial markets in the early 2030s. What is your take on US-China technology rivalry?
