Fail to compete with China on innovation, just ban them on nation security!🥵

Oh, are 6g technologies not innovation?

Funny, you almost make it sound like most telecommunications technologies aren’t coming from Western countries already.

How about China compete on innovation and if they can make the superior standard, they’ll be able to benefit from it while everyone is scrambles to adapt to them?

China: makes 5g infara and full set of bands for compliant phones

USA: Bans Chinese phones

USA: Makes half assed 5g infara so the megacorp ISPs can market the crap out of it

USA: Sells incomplete 5g band phones with horrendous compliancy and support for 5g towers

USA: "why would China do dis? We must ban them from 6g!"

It's nice that we finally have a global standard that works everywhere so when you're abroad you don't need to buy a local cellphone anymore. If it fragments again, many countries in asia and africa might go with chinese 6g for cost reason and fragment the world again.
