China open to world in development of 5G industry: ministry
By Yang

China’s
5G construction is an open and level playing field for global companies, and
trade protectionism will only harm the industry’s development, Minister of
Industry and Information Technology Miao Wei said at the World 5G Convention on
Thursday, November 21.
According
to Miao, there are 113,000 5G base stations operating in China, and about
870,000 users have signed up for 5G services. By the end of this year, the
total number of 5G base stations is expected to reach 130,000.
China is
one of the first countries to have entered the 5G commercial era, with three
major network operators introducing the first 5G data plans in the country on
October 31.
“Openness
and cooperation are still the global consensus in developing
telecommunications,” Miao said. China is insisting on the openness of the
market, and it welcomes global companies to participate in 5G construction in
China. “No market shares are predetermined in China’s 5G development,” Miao
said.
International
and Chinese companies have been working together in China’s 5G sector in terms
of research, developing applications and setting industry standards. The
Finnish company Nokia, Swedish company Ericsson and the US company Qualcomm
have all participated under the IMT-2020 group to contribute to industry
standards.
Eric Xu,
rotating chairman of Huawei, said during the World 5G Convention that the 5G
base stations and 5G core networks are independent from each other, and any
arguments that the two are inseparable are “ill-intended”.
China
can deliver the world’s best 5G based on its spectrum resources, base stations
and government support. While the rest of the world can also reap the fruit of
its 5G development with increasing demand for 5G networks, semiconductors and
devices, Xu said.
