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。
