South Korean media: China leads in 6G, widening the technological gap with the US and Europe! On April 13, South Korean media "Global Economy" published an article stating that 6G is the next generation of wireless communication technology, which is expected to provide speeds 100 times faster than current 5G and latency 1/10th of that of 5G. The development goal of this technology is to achieve commercialization in the early 2030s, which will realize holographic communication, digital twins, and hyper-connected societies. Currently, the global competition for 6G technology development is fierce, and the trend of China leading over the United States and Europe is evident. There are three main reasons why China has taken the lead in the development of next-generation wireless communication technology 6G compared to the US and Europe. Firstly, China already has the most 5G base stations globally, providing a favorable foundation for transitioning to new technologies. Secondly, China has incorporated 6G into its national development goals as a core component for fostering "future industries." Thirdly, China has actively taken initiatives within the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), establishing three 6G technology standards and launching the world's first 6G satellite into orbit. As the successor standard to 5G, 6G remains in development, with the international community negotiating regulatory standards to lay the groundwork for commercialization in the early 2030s. In this context, telecommunications operators from countries like China, Japan, and South Korea, which have taken the lead in 5G deployment, show a "more proactive" attitude towards 6G, while operators from European countries such as France, Italy, and Germany adopt a "more conservative" stance toward their development goals. An industry report published in China's academic journal "Information Science" pointed out, "European and American operators are reluctant to develop 6G because of the relatively delayed deployment of 5G." This report was written by representatives from China Mobile Research Institute, Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd., CITIC Telecom Mobile Communication Research Institute, Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, and Southeast University. It predicts that the differences in approaches among countries are likely to become a new front line in future global telecommunications technology hegemony competition. 6G technology will improve the operation of power grids, telemedicine, navigation systems through more reliable and low-latency communications, while also supporting more advanced artificial intelligence-based applications. According to Swedish telecom company Ericsson, 6G commercial trials may begin as early as 2028, with the International Telecommunication Union aiming to establish 6G standards before 2030 and achieve commercial deployment by the end of 2030. China's proactive measures and positive development attitude indicate that it will be in a favorable position in the future global competition for communication technology hegemony.
