Some time ago, the US announced the chip bill, further strengthening the US's monopoly on global chip manufacturing. In the field of mobile communications, my country's influence in 5G technology has made the United States feel threatened. The restrictions that Huawei faces in mobile phones and 5G services are the means by the United States to unilaterally safeguard its own interests. However, this cannot erase the achievements made by my country in 5G technology.
In order to bypass my country's advantages in 5G technology, the United States simply turned to 6G to tackle key problems. Foreign media took the opportunity to create momentum and claimed to the outside world that the "game" with Huawei is about to end, but is this really the case?

1. The battle for 5G
After the mobile communication network entered the new 5G track, American companies lost the opportunity to "make money" in the past, and Chinese companies came from behind, especially Huawei company has achieved fruitful results in related scientific research fields, becoming the company with the most 5G patents in the world. Without the support of patents, American communications giants naturally lost the prerequisites to control the global 5G market, and what followed was the decline of American mobile phone brands in the global mobile phone market.

According to National Intellectual Property Office data, among the 47,000 5G technology patents in the world, my country has about 18,000, accounting for nearly 40%, and Huawei accounts for more than 6,500, equivalent to 14% of the total global patents. In addition to 5G patents, Huawei's independently designed Kirin chip also poses a substantial threat to American chip companies. In order to safeguard its own interests, the United States has taken multiple rounds of restrictive measures against Huawei.


After being suppressed due to chip problems, Huawei's share in the global mobile phone market fell sharply. In the first half of this year, Huawei's revenue business shrank, revenue revenue fell by 5.86% year-on-year, and overall net profit fell by 53.2% year-on-year. However, even though revenue and profits both fell year-on-year, Huawei still achieved a year-on-year increase of 6.205 billion yuan in R&D investment, and continued to deepen its 5G field.
2. New layout
Seeing that we have an advantage in 5G technology, the United States will naturally find ways to lead the innovation of mobile communication technology, so they thought of a way to achieve "overtaking on the curve", that is, to skip 5G directly and start building a 6G ecosystem. Some foreign media reported that the United States has successfully achieved key breakthroughs in the field of 6G communications with Japan and South Korea, and some foreign media have directly begun to criticize Huawei's future.

However, judging from the global 6G patent data disclosed at this stage, my country holds 13,400 related patents, accounting for about 35% of the total global 6G patents, while the patent share held by the United States accounts for about 18%. At first glance, we seem to have the same development opportunities as the 5G era, but if we add 6G technology patents held by Japan, South Korea and European countries, our country is clearly at a disadvantage.

As a new technology that has just started, 6G network communication needs to be improved theoretically, not to mention that it needs to be more cautious in the field of practical application. Faced with the accelerated layout of the United States and European countries in the 6G ecosystem, Academician Li Deren of the Chinese Academy of Sciences once warned that he believed that we must now accelerate the development of 6G communication technology just like the United States and European countries, and at the same time, we must pay close attention to the US's progressing Starlink plan and accelerate the layout of our communication satellite .
3. The Road to Self-Strength
No matter whether Musk's Starlink plan can ultimately achieve 6G network communication, the communication satellites it leads to launch have occupied a large number of space resources, or the intention of the drunkard is not to drink, and squeezing limited space resources seems to be more like the fundamental purpose of this plan. While looking at the Starlink plan rationally, we must also step up the layout of independently developed communication satellites in space and realize ground-to-satellite communication as soon as possible.


From the current development experience and situation of my country's 5G technology, the acquisition of any core technology can only be explored from practice by ourselves, and do not place hope on others. This is also the reason why Huawei still insists on increasing R&D investment in the environment of tightening profits.From a chaser to a leader, policy support, economic support and talent support are all indispensable, and the same is true for 6G research and development.
Huawei's 6G R&D team has received good news. The terahertz communication and perception integrated prototype independently developed by my country has officially been released, laying a solid foundation for the subsequent realization of wireless 6G communication. In the next step, Huawei will continue to make efforts based on talents and continuously increase relevant R&D investment to maintain the company's competitiveness in this field.

4. Summary
In the global battle against 5G technology, the United States and European countries obviously did not take any advantage. Now that the United States is turning to 6G technology, it is worthy of our vigilance, especially the so-called Starlink project under the embroidery of the concept of technology. The real purpose of it remains to be seen.
However, whether it is 5G or 6G, as long as we adhere to the independent scientific research path, continuously consolidate the talent foundation and ensure R&D investment, we will alleviate or even solve the problem of "bottleneck" in technology.
