Recently, the 2024 Mobile World Congress (MWC24), which is regarded as the "vane of the global communications industry", kicked off at the Barcelona Convention and Exhibition Center in Spain. On this occasion, the United States has enlisted the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, France, Japan, South Korea, Finland, Sweden, and the Czech Republic to form a "ten-nation coalition" to issue a joint statement on cooperation in the research and development of sixth-generation wireless technology (6G), which sets out six principles, covering technology trust, privacy protection, global standards, open cooperation, and economic sustainability.
At present, on a global scale, 6G communication technology is still in the cutting-edge research and exploration stage, and there is no unified standard for 6G network architecture and key technologies. Obviously, the above-mentioned moves of the United States and its so-called allies are obviously intended to carry out a "land enclosure movement" in the field of 6G, trying to lead the development direction of 6G technology through the formulation of global standards and international cooperation. While the joint statement claims that the goal of this move is to achieve open, free, global, interoperable, reliable, resilient, and secure connectivity.
However, the list of participants in the project in the United States and the West almost includes many telecommunications giants in the United States and Western countries, but only China's Huawei is not on the list, which is what kind of "globalization". In this regard, anyone with a discerning eye can see at a glance that their move is to curb China's development in the field of 6G and isolate China.
Obviously, the main battlefield for the United States to form a "ten-nation coalition" to contain China is still in the field of science and technology. In order to implement the plan to comprehensively contain China in the field of 6G, the American semiconductor company Nvidia also led the establishment of an artificial intelligence radio access network alliance, which has a total of 11 initial members, including Samsung Electronics, Arm, Ericsson, Microsoft, Nokia, SoftBank, etc., which are "strong enemies" that occupy a place in the global telecommunications field.
However, the move has sparked widespread controversy internationally. Many experts and scholars believe that the research and development of 6G technology should be a global collaboration, rather than being led by individual countries or alliances. They pointed out that the development of 6G technology requires all parties to work together and share resources and knowledge to drive progress across the industry.
More importantly, China, as the world's largest communications equipment manufacturer and network technology provider, has rich experience and advanced technology, and should participate in the research and development of global 6G technology and the formulation of standards, and jointly promote the development of the global communications industry. In fact, China's influence and strength in the field of communications have been recognized globally.
In the past few years, Chinese companies have made major breakthroughs in the R&D and commercialization of 5G technology, becoming the world's leading 5G technology provider. At the same time, China has also made important progress in areas such as artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, and big data. These achievements are not only of great significance to China's own development, but also bring new opportunities and challenges to the development of the global communications industry.
At MWC24, Chinese companies will showcase their latest achievements and technologies in the field of 5G and artificial intelligence. Huawei, ZTE, China Information Technology and other enterprises will release their latest products and solutions, demonstrating the innovation capabilities and leading positions of Chinese enterprises in the field of communications.
At the same time, China Mobile will also work with operators, businessmen and innovators around the world to develop the future development direction of communication technology and look for more cooperation opportunities. Although the United States and its allies have tried to contain China's development in the field of 6G by co-opting coalition countries and companies, their attempts are doomed to fail.
The development of the global communications industry requires cooperation and win-win on a global scale, and going it alone will only constrain the development and innovation of the industry. As an important player in the global communications industry, China will continue to promote the progress of the industry and make greater contributions to the development of global communications technology.
In conclusion, the R&D and standards development of 6G technology should be a global collaboration, not led by individual countries or alliances. As an important player in the global communications industry, China should be treated equally and fairly, and jointly promote the development of global communications technology. Through cooperation and win-win results, we can jointly create a more open, free and prosperous future for the communications industry.
