China claims 80% of users in the world

With its local champion Huawei, China was one of the first countries to offer 5G. According to figures released by the Chinese Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the country has 450 million 5G users.

China would represent more than 80% of 5G users in the world and aims to exceed 560 million users in 2023, with a penetration rate of more than 40%.

Also according to the Chinese ministry, China has more than 1.15 million relay antennas for 5G and has a target of 26 5G relay antennas per 10,000 inhabitants by the end of 2025, with the coverage of almost all towns and villages.

In 2020 and for comparison, there were only 5 5G relay antennas per 10,000 inhabitants.

” By the end of the 14th five-year plan (2021-25), China will have built the largest and most extensive 5G standalone network in the world, and will have practically achieved full coverage of the network in urban and rural areas “, commente un responsable de la China Academy of Information and Communications Technology.
