Just recently, there was an uproar in the tech world. Not because of any novel technology products, but because of a seemingly ordinary science and technology standard-setting meeting. You may ask, how can the development of a scientific and technological standard cause such a big stir? This is not a general standard-setting, but a global standard for future 6G technology. What's even more remarkable is that this conference actually excluded China, the global tech giant!
When it comes to 6G, you may still be a little unfamiliar. To put it simply, 6G is the sixth generation of mobile communication technology, and its speed, latency and connectivity will far exceed the 5G we use today. It can be said that whoever masters the 6G standard will be able to take the lead in the future technology competition.
Ten tech powerhouses, including the United States, the United Kingdom, and France, have come together to set a global standard for 6G technology. Isn't that a nice thing, you might think? The world has joined forces to jointly promote scientific and technological progress. But it's not that simple.
One of the big decisions of the meeting was to exclude China from the development of 6G technical standards. This means that China, the world's largest 5G market, has been left behind at the starting line of 6G technology. This decision immediately caused widespread discussion and controversy in the global science and technology community.
This is due to national security and technological leadership. After all, no one wants to put their core technology in the hands of potential competitors. But some people questioned whether such an approach was fair. Shouldn't the development of science and technology be the common cause of all mankind? How can a country be excluded because of competition and interest?
This controversy is not only about the formulation of scientific and technological standards, but also about the future direction of the global technological landscape. China's exclusion from the development of 6G standards, as an important force in the global technology field, will undoubtedly trigger a series of chain reactions.
Is such a decision really wise? Wouldn't the exclusion of a major scientific and technological power like China lead to division and antagonism in the field of science and technology? And, with the development of globalization, shouldn't scientific and technological cooperation be the trend?
In fact, the development of science and technology should indeed be the common cause of all mankind. We should not regard technology as a tool of competition, but as an important force to promote the progress of human society. Only through global cooperation can we achieve universal and sustainable development of science and technology.
This battle over 6G standards has also made us re-examine the issue of technological security in international relations. In this information age, technology has penetrated into every aspect of our lives. Issues such as information security and data security are becoming increasingly prominent, and we cannot ignore the challenges brought by these issues.
But more importantly, we need to think about how to build a more open and inclusive tech ecosystem. We should not exclude a country because of competition and interests, but should uphold the concept of cooperation and sharing, and jointly promote the prosperity and development of science and technology.
Let's take a look at the battle behind this 6G standard battle. Perhaps, this is just a microcosm of the transformation of the global technology landscape. With the rapid development of science and technology, the future technology competition will be more fierce and complex. We need to participate more actively in the process of scientific and technological development and pay attention to the impact of scientific and technological development on global security and stability.
Where will this 6G standard battle go? Will it continue to be divided and antagonistic, or will it move towards cooperation and sharing? This requires the thinking and effort of each and every one of us.
In this era of rapid technological change, we cannot stand still, let alone hinder the progress of science and technology because of our own selfishness. Let's work together to promote the development and innovation of global science and technology!
