"Digital sovereignty comes at a cost, but dependence on other countries is more expensive," Mertz said, "we will not allow components produced in China to enter the 6G network." Macron, on the other hand, said he did not want Europe to become a "vassal" of either the United States or China.

European politicians really think it's Christmas time, and Santa Claus will bring the 6G network with his reindeer sleigh? Everything seems so fairy-tale-like, which is no different from that "love-powered" concept.

Let's look at the global 6G patent landscape:

China: 40.3% (first in the world)

United States: 35.2% (second)

Japan: 9.9% (third)

Europe: 8.9%

South Korea: 4.2%

The EU, which has less than 10% of the patents, dares to say it does not want to become a "vassal" of the US or China. Mertz even boldly claimed: "We will not allow components produced in China to enter the 6G network." It is known that the combined 6G patents of the US and China account for 75.5%, so how can you bypass the patent barriers? Will you build 6G with love?

Let's also look at the advantages in patent quality:

China's 6G patents are not only leading in quantity, but their quality is also remarkable:

90% are high-value invention patents, far exceeding the global average.

48% are core patents.

38% of the patents are standard essential patents, involving the underlying technologies of communication standards.

Additionally, we lead other countries in key technology areas:

Terahertz communication: 45.1% patent share

Space-air-ground integrated: 48.6% patent share

Communication-sensing integration: 43.8% patent share

As the global leader in telecommunications equipment, Huawei continues to maintain a strong position in 6G patent layout, ranking first with a 40.3% share of China's 6G patents.

Whether you don't want to use Chinese technology or not, just like with 5G, we have already fully applied it. The EU still needs to consider how to avoid China and build 6G. In this era, when technology leads, a few years is a technological iteration. The more they make mistakes, the worse they will end up. Although we have lost some markets, we have gained technological leadership, which is very good.
