China has taken the global lead in 6G development, with the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology officially approving the use of the 6 GHz frequency band for 6G trials, making China the first country worldwide to do so. Dubbed the “golden spectrum” by the telecom industry, the 6 GHz band offers wide coverage, large capacity and high reliability, and is highly compatible with the existing 5G mid-band ecosystem, enabling a smooth transition from 5G to 6G.
According to experts, 6G will enable communication among humans, machines, things and intelligent agents capable of autonomous learning and decision-making. China’s 6G commercial applications are expected to begin around 2030, with large-scale commercial deployment by 2035, potentially fostering a trillion-yuan-level industry and application market.
