The 6G Arms Race is Real and China is Winning

The 6G Arms Race is Real and China is Winning

What happened in China on January 8 was not a stunt. It was a warning.

A surgeon in Fujian performed a remote liver surgery using robotic arms. He wasn’t in the operating room. He was operating over a 5G network with only 0.1 seconds of latency.

This wasn’t some experimental gimmick. It worked. And it worked because China has built a national 5G network that no other country can match. Over 4.4 million base stations now blanket every corner of China, including rural areas where U.S. coverage would fail completely.

That same 5G infrastructure is now being used to push ahead in the next frontier. 6G. While most countries are still working on 5G rollout, China is already building 6G. They are years ahead. And it matters.

6G is not about faster phones. It is about global power. Whoever sets the standards, controls the patents, and builds the backbone will control what the rest of the world runs on for the next 20 years.
