Recommendation

As of 2019, telecom companies around the world are rolling out 5G services, and smartphone manufacturers are beginning to launch 5G phones. China was a late bloomer in the development of 3G and 4G, but the government made scaling and upgrading telecom infrastructure a top priority and is determined to become a world leader in 5G technologies. This report from finance blog Caijing Wuji traces the transformation of China’s mobile technologies from its early days and discusses the country’s ambitions in the coming years. 

Take-Aways

  • China’s leading telecom providers are state-owned, so their developmental paths are aligned with China’s goal to become the world leader in telecom technologies. 
  • Developing new 3G technology TD-SCDMA rather than relying on 3G standards used in the United States and Europe gave China an advantage in the race to 5G.
  • China plans to offer nationwide commercial 5G services in 2020.
