Chinese telecom companies are scrambling to deepen the research and development of 6G, as the world enters a crucial window of opportunity to identify potential technologies and formulate key standards for the next-generation wireless technology. 中国电信企业正争相深化6G研发。当前，全球正处于识别潜在技术、制定下一代无线通信关键标准的关键机遇期。 Amid the enthusiasm, 6G was highlighted in the Government Work Report for the first time this year. The report, delivered last week in Beijing at the opening meeting of the third session of the 14th National People's Congress, China's top legislature, said, "We will establish a mechanism to increase funding for industries of the future and foster industries such as biomanufacturing, quantum technology, embodied AI and 6G technology." 在各界热情推动下，6G今年首次被写入政府工作报告。这份报告于上周在北京举行的十四届全国人大三次会议开幕会上发布。报告称：“我们将建立未来产业协同发展机制，加大对生物制造、量子技术、具身智能、6G技术等领域的支持力度。” While there is still no universally accepted definition of the technology, 6G is expected to have far lower latency, higher speeds and more bandwidth than 5G. More important, 6G will be able to support the integration of space, air, terrestrial and maritime communication technologies, experts said. 尽管目前尚未形成6G的统一定义，但专家预计，6G的延迟将远低于5G，速度更快、带宽更大。更重要的是，6G将支持空、天、地、海通信技术的一体化融合。 China is aiming to commercialize 6G by around 2030. 中国计划于2030年左右实现6G商用。 Li Lecheng, Party secretary of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said on Wednesday that more efforts are needed to accelerate the research and development of 6G technology and expand the large-scale application of 5G. 工业和信息化部党组书记金壮龙周三表示，需进一步加快6G技术研发，并扩大5G的大规模应用。 Zhang Chengliang, president of the China Telecom Research Institute, said, "It is of crucial importance for telecom carriers to pounce at the new opportunities of artificial intelligence and 6G to build a sound digital information infrastructure." 中国电信研究院院长张成良表示：“电信运营商必须抓住人工智能与6G的新机遇，构建完善的数字信息基础设施。” A subsidiary of China Telecom recently obtained a national invention patent for a key 6G satellite-terrestrial integration technology, laying a core technical foundation for building a fully connected "space-air-ground-sea" network in the future. 中国电信旗下一子公司近期获得一项6G星地融合技术国家发明专利，为未来构建“空天地海”一体化网络奠定了核心技术基础。 To promote satellite-terrestrial integration, China Telecom is leading the national "6G Satellite Communication Access and Networking Technology" project, proposing an approach that leverages ground network technology to drive the development of satellite communications. 为推进星地融合，中国电信牵头国家“6G卫星通信接入与组网技术”项目，提出以地面网络技术驱动卫星通信发展的路径。 Wang Zhiqin, head of the IMT-2030 (6G) Promotion Group, a government-affiliated flagship platform for promoting 6G and international cooperation in China, said the research for 6G technical standards will begin in June this year, with the technical research phase to be completed by 2027. The first version of the technical specifications for 6G technology standards is expected to be finalized by March 2029. IMT-2030（6G）推进组组长王志勤表示，6G技术标准研究将于今年6月启动，技术研究阶段计划2027年完成，首版6G技术标准预计于2029年3月定稿。 Li Fuchang, director of the wireless technology research center at the China Unicom Research Institute, said about 70 percent of the technologies used in 5G and 6G overlap. In light of this, China Unicom has proposed an integrated approach to advancing both 5G and 6G, driven by demand to guide 6G research and development. 中国联通研究院无线技术研究中心主任李福昌表示，5G与6G的技术重叠率约70%。基于此，中国联通提出以需求为导向，推动5G与6G协同发展的融合路径。 To stay ahead in the 6G race, China Unicom has established a corporate 6G working group to strategically plan the 6G technology system. The company is coordinating efforts to promote integrated research on 5G advanced technology and 6G, systematically advancing studies on 6G vision, application scenarios, network architecture, key technologies, application ecosystems and demonstration projects. 为在6G竞争中保持领先，中国联通成立企业级6G工作组，统筹规划6G技术体系，并协调推进5G-A与6G融合研究，系统性开展6G愿景、应用场景、网络架构、关键技术、应用生态及示范项目攻关。 Wen Ku, chairman of the China Communications Standards Association, said, "The European Union, the United States, Japan, South Korea and other countries and regions have all initiated research on 6G, and China has unique strengths." 中国通信标准化协会理事长闻库表示：“欧盟、美国、日本、韩国等国家和地区均已启动6G研究，而中国具备独特优势。” China has made remarkable strides in 5G infrastructure, which gives it an unparalleled edge in exploring 6G technology, he said. 他指出，中国在5G基础设施领域取得显著进展，这为探索6G技术提供了无可比拟的优势。 "Advancing the use of 5G is like building a good bridge and road for 6G, and efforts to promote the large-scale application of 5G will lay a solid foundation for 6G development, which is still in the early stage," Wen said. “推进5G应用就像为6G搭建桥梁和道路，推动5G大规模应用将为尚处初期的6G发展奠定坚实基础。”闻库说。 In July last year, a group of Chinese telecom engineers announced that they had established the world's first field test 6G network integrating communications and AI. 去年7月，中国一批电信工程师宣布建成全球首个集成通信与人工智能的6G外场测试网络。 The experimental network has achieved remarkable improvements in key communication metrics, including capacity, coverage and efficiency, according to Zhang Ping, a Chinese Academy of Engineering academician and a professor at Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications. 中国工程院院士、北京邮电大学教授张平表示，该实验网络在容量、覆盖和效率等关键通信指标上实现显著提升。 The network serves as a platform for institutions that are conducting theoretical research and initial verification of 6G pivotal technologies, and it effectively lowers the entry threshold for 6G research, making it more accessible for innovation, according to the team of engineers. 研发团队称，该网络为6G关键技术理论研究和初步验证提供了平台，有效降低了6G研究门槛，推动更多创新参与。legislaturen. 立法机关；立法机构subsidiaryadj.附带的,附属的,次要的n.附属事物,附属机构,子公司demonstrationn. 表明;证明;示范thresholdn.门槛;〈喻〉开始

China will ratchet up resources to accelerate the building of basic systems for data and leverage innovative digital technologies to bolster industrial upgrading, part of a broader push to promote the high-quality development of the economy and foster new quality productive forces, said officials, company executives and experts.专家表示，中国将加大资源投入，加快数据基础体系建设，利用创新数字技术促进产业升级，推动经济高质量发展，培育新质生产力。Heightened efforts should be made to boost the deeper integration of the digital and real economies, vigorously develop the core industries of the digital economy, and advance the digital transformation of industries, said Qin Boyong, vice-chairwoman of the 14th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, the country's top political advisory body.全国政协副主席秦博勇表示，希望进一步用好数博会平台，更好推动数字中国建设，为贵州高质量发展和现代化建设贡献力量。Qin made the remarks at the opening ceremony of the China International Big Data Industry Expo 2024, which kicked off on Wednesday in Guiyang, the capital of Guizhou province.8月28日，秦博勇于贵阳开幕的2024中国国际大数据产业博览会开幕式上发表了讲话。She stressed the need to speed up the construction of basic systems for data and data infrastructure, press ahead with reforms related to the market-oriented allocation of data elements, use digital technologies to drive the urban digital transformation and the development of digital villages, and expand international cooperation in the digital economy domain.她强调，要持续促进实体经济和数字经济深度融合，加快推进数据基础制度和基础设施建设，以数字化转型全方位赋能经济社会发展，筑牢数字安全屏障，主动拓展国际合作，全面推动数字经济高质量发展。Xu Lin, Party secretary of Guizhou, said the province will make more efforts to build intelligent computing industrial clusters with a key focus on artificial intelligence technology, nurture a batch of industry-specific large language models, push forward the construction of data centers and expand the application scenarios of data elements in more fields.省委书记、省人大常委会主任徐麟表示，贵州将以人工智能技术为重点，把发展数字生产力作为发展新质生产力的重要突破口，聚焦算力、赋能、产业三个关键，着力构建算力协同发展机制，培育以人工智能为驱动的智算发展新模式。Often dubbed China's big data hub, the mountainous province of Guizhou is the country's first national big data comprehensive pilot zone, and has been promoting the big data industry as the backbone of the province's high-quality social and economic development.贵州作为数字经济发展的先行者，是全国首个国家大数据综合试点区，一直把大数据产业作为全省经济社会高质量发展的支撑力量。Xu said that Guizhou's total computing power has reached 40 EFLOPS, making it one of the regions with the strongest intelligent computing capabilities nationwide. EFLOPS is a unit of the speed of computer systems, equal to one quintillion floating-point operations per second.徐麟表示，全省总算力规模40 EFLOPS，贵州已成为全国智算能力最强的地区之一。 EFLOPS表示每秒执行一千万亿次的浮点运算。Liu Liehong, head of the National Data Administration, said the administration is working with relevant departments to study and formulate policies concerning the data industry, in order to unleash the value of massive data resources and improve the competitiveness of China's data industry.国家数据局局长刘烈宏在开幕式上表示，国家数据局正会同有关部门研究制定产业发展政策，将从优化产业布局、培育多元经营主体、强化政策保障等三个方面系统布局培育壮大数据产业。"As a new type of production factor, data has been deeply integrated into various areas of the economy and society," Liu said, while emphasizing the significance of the cultivation of the data industry in fostering new quality productive forces and driving the country's high-quality economic growth.“数据产业是一个新兴产业，主要是指利用现代信息技术对数据资源进行开发，推动其流通应用，以实现数据要素价值。”刘烈宏表示，培育数据产业对培育新质生产力、推动我国经济高质量增长具有重要意义。Chen Zhongyue, chairman of China Unicom, said the company is beefing up efforts to promote the construction of new types of infrastructure, facilitate the development of next-generation wireless communication technology, and accelerate the industrial applications of its self-developed large language model, called Yuanjing.中国联通董事长陈忠岳表示，公司正加大力度推进新型基础设施建设，促进下一代无线通信技术发展，加快自主研发的“元景”大模型的产业应用。Chen said the company has developed 35 industry-specific Yuanjing models, which have benefited urban governance, information consumption and industrial manufacturing, adding that more efforts are needed to make breakthroughs in the key technologies of big data and LLMs, and provide more intelligent, convenient digital services in Guizhou.陈忠岳表示，目前公司已研发出35个行业“元景”模型，赋能城市治理、经济运行、信息消费、工业制造等领域成效明显。下一步，公司还需加大大数据、大语言模型等关键技术的突破，为贵州提供更加智能、便捷的数字服务。Qi Xiangdong, chairman of Chinese cybersecurity company Qi-Anxin Technology Group, said that as new cybersecurity-related challenges, such as privacy and data leakage, have appeared along with the development of AI and data sharing, safeguarding data security is important in bolstering data transactions and developing the digital economy.中国网络安全公司奇安信集团董事长齐向东表示，在大数据时代，数据的共享和传播能产生更多价值，但数据被窃取会导致企业核心竞争力丧失。因此，数据安全是数字经济和数据交易的核心问题，只有解决了安全疑虑，数字经济才能快速发展。

Visiblement, aucune trêve n'est sur le point d'être conclue dans la guerre technologique qui oppose les États-Unis et la Chine. Ce serait même tout l'inverse. D'après les informations du New York Times, le gouvernement américain songerait à forcer le géant mondial des drones DJI à quitter le pays. Si cette menace était mise à exécution, cela porterait à trois le nombre de mastodontes technologiques bannis par les Etats-Unis, à savoir DJI, mais aussi Huawei et TikTok.Si vous aviez prévu de voyager aux Etats-Unis et de faire de jolis plans aériens avec vos drones DJI, et bien c'est raté. Les autorités américaines voient en effet la firme chinoise comme une menace pour la sécurité nationale. Concrètement, le Congrès américain, réfléchirait très sérieusement à interdire DJI, en ajoutant la marque à la liste des équipements interdits. Cette liste, chapeautée par la Federal Communications Commission (FCC), l'autorité américaine des télécoms, accueille déjà de grands noms chinois comme Huawei, mais aussi l'équipementier ZTE et les opérateurs China Telecom et China Unicom.En fait, les autorités américaines ont la possibilité de mettre DJI sur la touche grâce au Countering CCP Drones Act, une loi de lutte contre les drones qui vise à empêcher l'entrée de nouveaux produits DJI sur le marché américain, et qui bloque tout achat de drones, caméras, micros et autres produits par les administrations américaines. Cette même loi pourrait aussi permettre de révoquer les précédentes autorisations accordées à l'entreprise par la FCC. Si DJI a toujours nié vouloir nuire aux États-Unis, les élus américains ne sont visiblement pas sur la même longueur d'onde. Si l'interdiction de TikTok aux États-Unis n'est pas encore totalement définitive, l'exemple Huawei illustre bien à quel point se faire bannir du sol américain peut être dommageable. Plus de quatre ans après, la firme de Shenzhen ne s'est toujours pas remise de cette punition. Si loi contre DJI il y a, reste à savoir quand elle sera promulguée, et surtout connaître l'ampleur des répercussions sur les comptes de l'entreprise. Hébergé par Acast.

Wykład dr. Marcina Jacoby, XXIII Festiwal Nauki w Warszawie, 21 września 2019 [1h19min] https://wszechnica.org.pl/wyklad/chiny-innowacyjne-mocarstwo-wiedzy/ Sinolog opowiada, jak Chiny rozwijają się inwestując w technologie - zieloną energię, motoryzację, smartfony, sieć 5G oraz rynek online i płatności mobilne Chiny są obecnie światowym liderem w produkcji nowych technologii i zielonej energii. Co sprawiło, że kraj jeszcze niewiele ponad pół wieku temu zmagający się z ubóstwem stał się symbolem rozwoju technologicznego? Dr Marcin Jacoby podczas Festiwalu Nauki opowiedział, co jego zdaniem leży u podstaw sukcesu Państwa Środka. Chiny zajmują obecnie globalnie 1. miejsce pod względem liczby rejestrowanych patentów, eksportu produktów kreatywnych i eksportu towarów hi-tech. 30 proc. patentów w zakresie produkcji zielonej energii jest autorstwa Chińczyków. Wśród 10 największych na świecie producentów baterii słonecznych 6 działa w Państwie Środka. Chińczycy są również liderami pod względem produkcji energii ze źródeł odnawialnych. Wytwarzają także najwięcej aut. Chiński BYD pod względem produkcji samochodów elektrycznych ustępuje jedynie Tesli. W mieście Schenzhen transport publiczny opiera się wyłącznie na pojazdach elektrycznych. Do 2020 roku ma się tak również stać w 30 innych miastach. Światowe rynki podbiją chińskie smartfony. Największy producent – Huawei – kontroluje obecnie 13 proc. globalnego rynku, ustępując jedynie Samsungowi i Apple. Huawei jest również potentatem, jeśli chodzi o wdrażanie technologii 5G. Chińscy operatorzy - China Unicom i China Telecom - do 2020 roku planują zbudować niezależną sieć 5g w 5 miastach. Rynek sprzedaży on-line w Chinach jest dwukrotnie większy niż w Stanach Zjednoczonych. Dzięki rozwiniętemu sektorowi usług kurierskich taniej jest kupować towary w sieci niż w sklepie – dotyczy to również artykułów spożywczych. Chińczycy coraz rzadziej posługują się również gotówką, co zawdzięczają rozwiniętej sieci płatności bezgotówkowych. Dr Marcin Jacoby podczas wykładu opowiada szerzej o rozwoju innowacyjnych gałęzi chińskiej gospodarki - zielonej energii, motoryzacji, produkcji smartfonów, rozwoju technologii 5G oraz rynku sprzedaży on-line i płatności bezgotówkowych. Sinolog podejmuje się również odpowiedzi na kluczowe pytanie - jak to możliwe, że tak olbrzymi postęp technologiczny stał się możliwy w państwie, które jeszcze do niedawna uchodziło za biedne i słynęło z masowej produkcji i eksportu towarów niskiej jakości.

La Chine a annoncé son intention de se désengager du projet de câbles sous-marins reliant l'Europe à l'Asie. Cette décision est due à un changement de stratégie de la part de la Chine qui se concentre désormais sur le développement de ses réseaux de télécommunications internes. China Telecom et China Mobile, deux des opérateurs chinois les plus présents dans l'Empire du Milieu n'investiront plus dans la construction de ce câble.Le consortium ayant investi dans le projet de câbles sous-marins, qui comprend des entreprises comme Orange, Telecom Egypt ou Microsoft a fait un choix fort. Ils ont décidé que la société américaine SubCom était la plus à même de pouvoir construire ce système de câbles, au détriment du chinois Hengtong Marine. Une décision qui n'a pas plu aux deux groupes télécoms qui ont décidé de se retirer du projet. Le projet South East Asia-Middle East-West Europe 6 (Sea-Me-We 6) vise à installer au fond de l'océan, un système de câbles sous-marins de 19 200 km qui relieraient Marseille, en France et la cité-état de Singapour. L'ensemble se compose de 10 paires de fibres optiques ayant un débit de 12,6 Terabits par seconde chacune. Le coût total du projet est d'environ 500 millions de dollars.D'après le Financial Times, le départ de China Mobile et China Telecom s'explique par l'intensification des tensions entre la Chine et les États-Unis. Depuis, près de trois ans, les États-Unis ont refusé l'implantation de plusieurs câbles de télécommunications sous-marins impliquant des entreprises chinoises ou reliant directement les États-Unis à la Chine continentale ou à Hong Kong. À chaque fois, l'Administration Biden a évoqué de possibles problèmes de sécurité nationale dans le cas où ces câbles étaient installés.Bien que la décision de la Chine de se désengager du projet puisse sembler être une mauvaise nouvelle pour les entreprises européennes impliquées, il est possible que d'autres acteurs émergents dans le domaine des télécommunications, tels que l'Inde, puissent prendre la relève. En fin de compte, la mise en place de câbles sous-marins fiables est très importante pour soutenir la croissance économique mondiale et pour permettre à l'Europe et à l'Asie de se connecter de manière efficace. SEA-ME-WE 6 est prévu pour le premier trimestre 2025. À moins que le désintérêt chinois vienne contrecarrer les plans initiaux du consortium. Pour l'instant, un opérateur chinois public, China Unicom, est encore de la partie. Selon un membre du projet, l'implication des deux groupes ayant décidé de quitter le navire était « importante, mais que leur départ ne remettait pas en cause le projet ». Hébergé par Acast.

Kurt Davis has spent twenty years in Silicon Valley and Asia, working in venture capital and business development for technology startups, focusing on deals with companies like Apple, Microsoft, Spotify, and Sony.  But he experienced failure, with his very first business, a mobile game company. Kurt was living in Hong Kong in the early 2000s and from there he witnessed the beginning of a wave of innovation in China, especially in tech. Alibaba, Tencent, Baibu, all of them were launched around that time and were beginning to grow.  It was exciting and Kurt couldn't resist the opportunity. He left his job and moved to Shanghai in 2003 to make it as an entrepreneur. He was really into football and hit upon the idea of starting an online fantasy football game app. At first it was going to be a website but, after realising they weren't going to be able to monetise it very well, they then turned their attention to mobile phones. Remember this was 2003, so the early days of smartphones, before the iPhone. All of this was really new, but they did it! They got mobile phone carriers, like China Unicom, to sell their product and also spread into other countries in Asia.  So what went wrong? Listen to find out.  If you have any feedback, we'd love to hear it. What would make the show better? hello@secretleaders.com  Sponsor links: quickbooks.co.uk/secretleaders

Le marché américain est en pleine hésitation pour cause de tensions politiques, explique Aurélie Lombardo (Société Générale Private Banking).   Ce qu'il faut retenir :   - La Chambre des représentants a adopté lundi une résolution en vue de destituer Donald  Trump.

El gobierno francés y los sectores industriales prometen una banda ancha mejorada y la posibilidad de conectar nuevos objetos como coches gracias a la 5G. En cambio, los detractores de esta tecnología estiman que podría vulnerar el medio ambiente, la salud y nuestros datos personales. Viaje a la galaxia de los anti 5G. - Por @raphamoran- A medida que se acerca la fecha para la atribución de licencias de operación 5G, que, según el gobierno francés, debería ocurrir a finales septiembre, crece la polémica sobre la utilidad de esta tecnología. Tras su reelección a la cabeza de la ciudad de Grenoble, el emblemático alcalde ecologista Eric Piolle cuestionó, con cierta provocación, el uso real de dicha tecnología. “La 5G servirá para mirar (videos) porno en el celular en alta definición en el ascensor. ¿Acaso es el progreso ver porno en alta definición?”, se preguntó Piolle, quien considera que la prioridad es acabar con las zonas sin cobertura de señal de comunicaciones móvil. Países como China, Suiza o Corea del sur ya han desplegado esta nueva generación de tecnología de comunicación móvil que, según prometen sus defensores, permite descargar una película en alta definición en menos de un minuto o pilotear autos a distancia. Otras naciones como Francia están a punto de instalar las nuevas antenas necesarias para la 5G. Sin embargo, durante los últimos meses, quizá haya visto en Facebook, Youtube o Twitter una serie de rumores conspiracionistas, difundidos incluso por personalidades como el cantante Miguel Bosé o la actriz Juliette Binoche, que afirman que esta tecnología es dañina para la salud. Un video conspiracionista, publicado por ejemplo a finales de agosto en el Youtube francés y que suma casi 1 millón de visitas, afirma que un complot busca implantar nanopartículas en el organismo de la gente que recibirá la vacuna contra la covid-19. Unas nanopartículas que comunicarían información personal al Estado gracias a la 5G. Esos rumores fueron desmentidos por médicos, gobiernos y medios como en Reino Unido donde se reportaron incluso agresiones a empleados de telecomunicaciones que instalan cables de Internet. No, la 5G no tiene nada que ver con el coronavirus, ni las vacunas, ni Bill Gates. Pero al igual que muchos rumores, parte de un hecho real que luego ha sido deformado. “Es un problema recurrente. En las redes sociales se ven cosas completamente falsas. Y no hay que mentirle a la gente porque esto perjudica nuestra lucha por una moratoria sobre la 5G. Sin embargo, hay problemas reales como la vigilancia masiva, por ejemplo”, dice a RFI Emile Meunier, el concejal ecologista de la alcaldía de París que sigue de cerca el asunto. Su partido, Europe Ecologie les Verts (EELV, que conquistó el voto de los electores en las grandes ciudades en junio) pide al Estado francés suspender la instalación de antenas de telefonía móvil 5G hasta que se conozcan los impactos reales en la salud y el medioambiente. “No estoy diciendo que un Estado está urdiendo un complot para vigilar a sus ciudadanos”, aclara Meunier. “Pero hay que saber que "el Internet de las cosas", es decir la multiplicación de objetos conectados y con captores, sí permitirá a las empresas, y en ciertos países como China, al Estado, saber muchas más cosas sobre nuestra vida privada, y operar una forma de control. Es una realidad que combatimos.” La promesa de una sociedad hiperconectada En términos técnicos, la 5G funciona de la misma manera que la 4G, es decir con la emisión de ondas desde antenas, pero a través de frecuencias más elevadas. Según las autoridades francesas de salud, que concuerdan con la Organización Mundial de la Salud (leer el informe aquí), las ondas de telefonía móvil 4G y 5G no son dañinas para la salud humana. Y hasta ahora, no existe consenso científico sobre los efectos potencialmente cancerígenos de las ondas. Ver también: Los electrosensibles temen la llegada de la tecnología 5G Las autoridades francesas reconocen que la 5G aumentará nuestra exposición a las ondas electromagnéticas, pero aseguran que no se rebasarán los niveles recomendados por los estándares internacionales de 61 voltios por metro. A cambio, permitirá un salto tecnológico importante. El despliegue de la 5G significará, en primer lugar, “una banda ancha móvil mejorada”, explicó a RFI Natalia Gallón, de la empresa francesa Matooma, especializada en conectividad entre objetos. “Con la 4G, la velocidad máxima teórica de descarga es de 100 megabites por segundo. Con la 5G, esta velocidad se situará en 10 gigabites por segundo. Será 100 veces más rápida que con la tecnología actual. Por ejemplo, bajar una película de dos horas tardará menos de 4 segundos con la 5G”, ejemplifica Natalia Gallón. Por otra parte, la quinta generación de comunicaciones inalámbricas promete aplicaciones industriales que podría revolucionar el uso de ciertos objetos y avanzar hacia el Internet de las cosas, es decir la conexión entre objetos. “Permitirá dar soporte a más de 1 millón de dispositivos conectados por metro cuadrado, mientras que la cifra es de 4000 con la 4G. Eso va a permitir desarrollar las 'smart cities'”, agregó Natalia Gallón. Entre los usos concretos que se evocan a menudo están por ejemplo la conexión de vehículos autónomos, o de aviones; así como una mejor gestión del tráfico vehicular mediante la conexión entre los semáforos y la masa de vehículos. Conectar semáforos y autos permitiría también sincronizarlos para facilitar el paso de las ambulancias. “Otra diferencia entre 4G y la 5G es la latencia, el tiempo que se tarda en transferir un paquete de datos dentro de la red. Se prevé que pase de 10 milisegundos a 1 milisegundo”, detalla Natalia Gallón. Tales características permitirían manejar de forma remota objetos de alta tecnología como aparatos de cirugía con un alto grado nivel de reactividad. “Millones de smartphones serán obsoletos” Frédéric Bordage, consultor independiente en asuntos digitales no es tan entusiasta. “Para la gran mayoría de nuestros usos cotidianos como consultar horarios de tren o el sueldo de nuestra cuenta bancaria, no necesitamos la 5G. Esta tecnología es interesante si queremos jugar a un videojuego en streaming en la calle, por ejemplo, lo que permitirá a la industria digital incentivar nuevos usos, y generará millones de horas de utilización adicionales”, vaticina Frédéric Bordage, quien fundó la ONG Green IT que promueve el uso responsable de la tecnología. Según el experto, “la premura del gobierno francés en instalar la 5G resulta del impacto comercial para la industria de las telecomunicaciones y los fabricantes de celulares. ¡Lo que es catastrófico con este despliegue de la 5G de manera no concertada, es que vamos a acelerar la obsolescencia de miles de millones de celulares 4G que funcionan perfectamente bien! La 5G va a reducir la duración de vida de los celulares de manera artificial”, alerta. Escuche el audioreportaje: ¿Entonces, vale realmente la pena desplegar antenas 5G?, se le preguntó. “No, no para los usos actuales. Es una tecnología interesante para casos muy específicos. El problema no es la tecnología en sí misma. El problema es que, en Francia, por ejemplo, los operadores van a empezar a vender planes de telefonía móvil 5G a todos los consumidores. Se va a desplegar esta tecnología en el mundo entero, a pesar de que no es absolutamente necesaria”, dijo a RFI. Rechazo creciente contra las antenas 5G Ante las dudas que surgieron sobre la 5G, varios alcaldes ecologistas de Francia como en Burdeos o Grenoble han pedido un debate y una suspensión del despliegue de las antenas 5G. “Pedimos una moratoria porque Francia está a punto de desplegar la 5G pese a que no ha habido ningún debate democrático en el parlamento ni a nivel local. Nunca hemos evaluado los costos y ventajas de la 5G a pesar de los estudios que muestran que esta tecnología tendrá un costo elevadísimo: tendremos que cambiar de celulares, instalar nuevas antenas. Y es una tecnología que consume mucha energía eléctrica. La empresa China Unicom por ejemplo ha tenido que apagar algunas de las antenas 5G de noche porque generaban un consumo excesivo”, insiste Emile Meunier, concejal ecologista de París. Pese a que los operadores móviles garantizan que las antenas 5G consumen menos electricidad que las de cuarta generación, Meunier advierte que la 5G “va a costar muy caro en términos de emisiones de CO2 porque el consumo de datos aumenta el uso de servidores que necesitan ser refrigerados”. Al igual que Frédéric Bordage, Meunier, denuncia el despliegue de una tecnologia cuyos beneficiarios serán, en primer lugar, las grandes corporaciones industriales. “Son las empresas como Google, Apple, Facebook y Amazon, los GAFA, los operadores móviles y de los fabricantes de autos autónomos los que impulsan la 5G para que veamos más videos en nuestros celulares, para consultar sitios webs aún más pesados y obtener más publicidad. La 5G no generará competitividad, es para incentivar a los consumidores a pasar más tiempo en sus pantallas para enriquecer a los gigantes de Internet”, denuncia este detractor de la 5G. Pese a que la convención de ciudadanos por el clima pidió también suspender la instalación de la 5G, el gobierno de Emmanuel Macron ha mantenido su calendario. Sin esperar las conclusiones de los estudios de impacto ambiental, a finales de septiembre serán designadas las empresas encargadas de desplegar esta tecnología. Así lo aclaró la ministra Agnès Panier Runacher en agosto en la Asamblea Nacional francesa. “Al igual que Suecia, Finlandia, Alemania, Estados Unidos, China, Corea y Nueva Zelanda, sí, Francia va a lanzar las licitaciones para las frecuencias de 5G. (…) Y para estar al mismo nivel de los estándares de salud y de medioambiente de otros países que han lanzado esta tecnología esencial para nuestra competitividad, hemos lanzado una misión de inspección con varias agencias estatales. Lo hacemos para el país, para la industria y para los franceses.” El asunto Huawei A finales de agosto, los operadores de telefonía móvil anunciaron que retirarán antenas 5G de la empresa china Huawei de varias ciudades francesas en los próximos años. No por razones sanitarias sino por motivos estratégicos. Temiendo un posible espionaje de la empresa China, el gobierno francés prohibió las antenas 5G en Brest, donde se encuentra la base naval de submarinos nucleares, en Rennes, cerca de un centro de ciberseguridad y en Toulouse, cerca de la sede del constructor aeronáutico Airbus.

Today on The Negotiation, Todd speaks with Justin Mallen, Founder, and CEO of Silk Road Telecommunication. He shares what it is like being one of the few successful foreign entrepreneurs in China, having entered the market during a time when it was far from the economic powerhouse that it is today.Justin says, “China's telecom infrastructure is owned and operated by three incredibly large, state-owned enterprises: China Telecom, China Unicom, and China Mobile. Back then, they had the one key resource which you needed: networking; and they did not want people in their space.”Justin defines success, at least in the early days, simply as “being able to create a business that had staying power”. SRT is a capital intensive venture that was founded in 2000. It is a  thriving operation today, but the road to get to this point was fraught with scores of challenges in the beginning. Primarily, it was a matter of turning these carriers—and other gatekeepers—from competitors into partners. Justin's prediction that the internet would take the world by storm in the near future was a driving force that paid off in spades.As a data center business, SRT began with infrastructure as a service as its sole focus: they build, operate, maintain, and own the buildings that house all the servers for the internet. Today, these sites serve as the “heartbeat” for tech companies such as Alibaba, Tencent, and JD.com. Because of recent, rapid advancements in technology, today, SRT also offers platforms as a service (cloud, data, and big data analytics vendors) as a necessary additional layer atop infrastructure.Information traveled incredibly slowly in the early 1990s China. Justin's initial goal was to simply speed things up. The biggest strength he saw in the country's carriers was that they were very eager to invest in building up the infrastructure and capabilities of the internet. The goal of SRT was to develop the infrastructure so that the cost of delivery to consumers could be minimized. Over time, this grew the number of internet users in China to over 900 million in the first quarter of 2020.5G takes the latency—the time it takes for data to move between a device and the servers—down to zero. It makes connectivity much smoother and effectively instant. Driverless cars are incredibly prone to accidents if they use 4G, with its latency of 40 milliseconds. 5G removes this barrier, as well as those of many other industries, which allows for further innovations such as telemedicine and remote surgery.

That thing about Chinese students being pushed by their parents to study really, really hard? “Yeah, it’s true,” says Fei Wen Gang. “Chinese parents really focus on their kids’ education. There is a huge population, so there is a lot of competition,” he says. “Schooldays starts at 7.30 in the morning and often you have classes into the evening.” Six years ago, Fei, now 32, quit his job at China Unicom — “like a Verizon or AT&T” — and moved from the city of Luzhou to “the Mountain,” the northern Berkshire hilltown of Florida where the parents of his wife Ashley live. Their son Lucas was 9 months old.

China's biggest property developer Wanda Group and Internet giants Baidu and Tencent have unveiled a new e-commerce venture in a challenge to industry leader Alibaba ahead of its stock offering in the United States. The three companies will integrate their online and offline sales, with e-commerce services in Wanda's 107 shopping malls, as well as its hotels and resorts. The companies will invest 5 billion yuan, or more than 810 million U.S. dollars to start. The venture adds to competition for Alibaba, who's Taobao, Tmall and other platforms account for some 80 percent of Chinese online commerce. Alibaba is preparing for a U.S. initial public offering that analysts say might value it between 150 billion and 200 billion dollars. The new venture will develop services including online finance which will pose a challenge to Alibaba's popular banking service, Yu'ebao. China has the world's most populous Internet market, with more than 600 million web users. Experts estimated that online shopping might triple from 2011 levels to 400 billion dollars a year by 2015.

Tesla Motors in the United States and Chinese state-owned phone carrier have announced plans to build 400 charging stations for electric vehicles in a new bid to promote popular adoption of the technology in China. Under the plan, China Unicom provides locations and basic services for the stations in 120 Chinese cities, while Tesla operates the stations. The two companies will also build 20 "supercharger stations" in some of these cities to offer high-speed charging. Promoters of electric vehicles see China as a promising market thanks to Beijing's support for the technology to reduce smog. But the lack of charging infrastructure is seen as a major hurdle to winning general acceptance. Tesla delivered its first home-made electric sedans to Chinese customers in April and planned to invest several hundred million dollars to build a charging network in China. China has around 78,000 electric vehicles on the road, mostly public buses and taxies. You are listening to NEWS Plus Special English. I'm Mike Fox in Beijing. Google's secretive research laboratory is trying to build a fleet of drones designed to bypass earthbound traffic so packages can be delivered to people more quickly. The ambitious program escalates Google's technological arms race with rival Amazon.com, which is also experimenting self-flying vehicles to carry merchandise bought by customers from its online stores. Google calls its foray into drones "Project Wing". Although Google expects it to take several more years before its fleet of drones is fully operational, the company says test flights in Australia delivered a first aid kit, candy bars, dog treats and water to two farmers after traveling a distance of roughly one kilometer a few weeks ago. The video of the test flight can be seen on YouTube. Besides perfecting their aerial technology, Google and Amazon still need to gain government approval to fly commercial drones in many countries, including their home country, the United States. The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration currently allows hobbyists and model aircraft makers to fly drones, but commercial use is mostly banned. This is NEWS Plus Special English.

An experimental Ebola drug has healed all 18 monkeys infected with the deadly virus in a study. The move boosted hopes that, once more of it can be made, the treatment might help fight the outbreak raging through West Africa. The monkeys were given the drug, ZMapp, three to five days after they were infected with the virus and when most were showing symptoms. The drug also completely protected six other monkeys given a slightly different version of the virus three days after infection. These two studies are the first monkey tests ever done on ZMapp. Experts said it's not possible to estimate a window of opportunity for treating humans, but it was encouraging that the animals recovered even after advanced disease developed. ZMapp had never been tested in humans before two American aid workers who got Ebola while working in Africa were allowed to try it. The rest of the limited supply was given to five others. Ebola has killed more than 1,500 people this year and the World Health Organization says there could be as many as 20,000 cases before the outbreak is brought under control.

China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has urged more transparency in college student enrollment in its affiliated universities. Universities are ordered to release more information about enrollment policies, students' credentials, enrollment results, and complaint channels. Almost 10 million students sat this year's college entrance exam. Enrollment is currently under way, and the new term will begin in September. A scandal involving a corrupt admission official that was exposed this spring cast doubt on transparency and fairness in college admissions. Cai Rong-sheng, former head of admissions at Beijing's Renmin University of China, was arrested in May on charges of receiving huge bribes. He was accused of taking more than 10 million yuan, or around 1.6 million U.S. dollars, to "help" students during enrollment. The ministry banned universities from favoritism, fraud and unlawful charges, among other irregularities. It also vowed to severely punish those involved in malpractice.

While Chinese students flock to study overseas nowadays, students from other countries are spending their summer vacations in Beijing to prepare for tests to enter colleges overseas. Ninety percent of the students who took SAT; that's Scholastic Assessment Test courses in Beijing in June were from overseas. Most of these students were high school graduates from the United States and are preparing to enter college there. Many of them were born and raised in China and went to the U.S. for middle school or high school to increase their chance of entering a U.S. university. In the prep classes in Beijing, students focus on getting better grades because training schools on the mainland have mastered the art of improving scores. Lower costs is another major factor attracting the students. New Oriental School, headquartered in Beijing, is one of the many training schools and the largest private education institution helping students to study abroad. Around 5,000 students took SAT exams in Beijing during their summer vacations last year and around 2,000 of them were from overseas. You are listening to NEWS Plus Special English.

The risk refers to the leakage of personal information such as text messages, contact lists and photos by using Apple products. Their reasons to brush off the potential risk range from the ubiquitous imperfection of electronic gadgets to die-hard obsession. Users of China's most popular micro-blogging service website Sina Weibo say that even if the iPhone can extract people's data, it's still not a big deal. Others say they do not worry about it because they are not celebrities or politicians who need to prevent their private life from going public. China is the world's largest mobile phone market where the topic of how the long-awaited iPhone 6 looks like has remained one of the most discussed in the cyberspace. The smart appearance and the values a mobile phone is associated with seem prevail over its safety and security. Although no related opinion poll results are immediately available, comments on the news entry at Sina Weibo appear to be largely optimistic, with occasional criticism of Apple's immorality and the U.S. surveillance addiction.
