In November 2019, China launched the largest 5G network in the world. All of the three major Chinese telecom companies China Mobile. China Telecom and China Unicom gave the 5G plans. The lowest price is 128 RMB for 30 GB data for a month. China is the first country where the government officially issued 5G licenses for commercial use. More than 50 cities in china have 5G commercial services. Some of the prominent names are Beijing, Guangzhou, Shanghai, Zhengzhou, Chengdu, and Shenzhen. Shanghai is leading in 5G, having nearly 12,000 5G towers covering the large area. As compared to China, other countries failed to launch 5G to a large extent. China can provide the 5G network at a cheap rate with more incredible speed as most Chinese people use mobile phones for their daily work. There are almost 850 million people use mobile phones in China. 5G will impact greater on Chinese. China Mobile is working with different mobile companies such as Nokia, Huawei, and ZTE to deploy the 5G network. It is said that China will have 110 million 5G users by the end of 2020. 

Huawei played a significant role in easy China's 5G network launch. It first started selling 5G mobile phones in China. The rest of the companies are no more behind, such as Ericsson (ERIXF), Nokia (NOK), and ZTE (ZTCOF). Vivo is also providing 5G support in its new handset. However, there was too much pressure on Huawei from the US. But they have launched 5G products. 

What is 5G network? 

The fifth generation of cellular technology will increase the download speeds 10 to 100 times faster than those of current 4G and LTE networks. Its a top trending technology in 2020. Significant benefit if 5G is low latency. What will it do? It will start video streaming on a single click. Its response time can automate vehicles that can make quick decisions in mili-seconds to avoid accidents. You can learn more about 5G in top recent updates of 5G. 

A battle between America and China

5G is a great battle between China and the West. But no other country from the west comes near to China in 5G deployment. 5G networks are a crucial battle between America and China for technology authority. Even American intelligence accepted that 5G of China as a threat to the national security of America. John Brown also said that "No country poses a greater threat than communist China." The next generation of telecom 5G is something huge. You cannot understand it until you fully understand it. It will not only increase the download speed but also serve as automated technology. It will develop entirely innovative smart cities, automatic cars, and AI applications, and driverless airplanes. 

Why 5G

I think now you can understand why both countries are struggling for 5G. Whoever will lead in the development of 5G technology will win the economic battle. The US Defense Innovation Board said that "The leader of 5G stands to gain hundreds of billions of dollars in revenue over the next decade, with widespread job creation across the wireless technology sector." Of course, China wants to be the superpower of the world. It's the best opportunity for China to surpass the US and even all the countries in Europe to become the economic superpower.
