China is sprinting ahead in the 6G race, stacking up over 300 core technologies and rallying more than 100 partners to shape the next-gen network. On Thursday, November 13, Vice Minister Zhang Yunming told the 2025 6G Development Conference that systematic research on system design and network architecture is in full swing. This year marked a major push into standardization research, setting the rules for global rollout.
- 300+ key 6G techs in reserve 🚀
- 100+ domestic & global partners joined 🌐
- Trials with Europe's 6G-IA & South Korea's 6G Forum 🔍
- Standardization research fully launched 🛠️
Why it matters: Imagine buffer-free Bollywood streams, bingeing K-dramas in 16K, lag-free cloud gaming 🎮, and AR meetups that feel totally real. 6G promises ultra-high speeds, massive device connections, and smarter IoT for smart homes, smart cities, and beyond.
What's next: China plans to double down on R&D, push global collaboration on tech standards and spectrum, and build a vibrant 6G ecosystem. For South Asia and Southeast Asia, this could mean a tech leap by the late 2020s, transforming how we live, work, and play.
