China Seen Poised to Lead World on 5G R&D and Deployment

Chinese companies lead the world on 5G R&D and are poised to continue that trend, China Briefing reported. China has other advantages, including a dense fiber network, the report said. China’s domestic market is huge, the report noted: “China has the world’s largest end-user base -- over 800 million internet users” and estimates of 576 million 5G users by 2025 “or more than 40 percent of the global total. Their demand may lead to a flood of 5G applications.”
