WASHINGTON—A commission of experts formed by the U.S. Congress has warned that China’s ambitions to control the next generation of mobile networks will have significant implications for U.S. competitiveness, data privacy, and national security.
The U.S.–China Economic and Security Review Commission (USCC) states in a report that the Chinese government is heavily investing in the fifth-generation wireless technology (5G) networks. Significant state funding for 5G deployment is part of the communist regime’s comprehensive industrial blueprint to cement technological dominance globally and reduce China’s dependence on foreign technology.
