Release wireless infrastructure and macroeconomic trends in China for fiscal year 2021. So far, despite the loss of a critical chipset supply and a new massive COVID-19 blockade, neither COVID-19 nor 5Geopolitics seems to have hindered the rise of China. LC's full-year 2021 analysis found that China's economy grew 8.1 percent in 2021, driven by strong domestic consumer spending and goods exports. In the United States, GDP grew by 5.7% in 2021, after COVID-19 caused a 3.4% contraction in 2020. This suggests That China is still on track to overtake the US as the world's largest economy in 2026-2028, as COVID-19 resets the GDP race between China and the US, giving China a boost 25G SFP28 Duplex.

Stephane Teral, LC principal analyst, said: "This economic growth would never have happened without a solid and extensive telecommunications infrastructure; As 5G is a key driver of China's digital economy, the country's 5G deployment has so far remained stable. However, 2022 begins with big headwinds that are slowing China's economy and hurting its 5.5% annual GDP growth plan: the government is cracking down on tech, finance and tutoring companies, and tightening controls on property developers 25G SFP28 Duplex."

Since the major telecom restructuring in 2009, China's three major operators (China Mobile, China Unicom and China Telecom) had deployed 9.96 million mobile base stations (including 2G/3G/4G/5G) by the end of December 2021, an increase of 650,000 from 9.31 million at the end of 2020. Among them, the total number of 5G base stations reached 1.42 million, an increase of 650,000 from 770,000 at the end of 2020. There are more than 1.6 billion mobile users, including nearly 550 million 5G users 25G SFP28 Duplex.

China is isolated and self-reliant and divides the world into two spheres of influence: East and West, a definition defined by geopolitics rather than geo-labelling. In the East, China is the only country that is rising, while the West is slow growing but much bigger in TERMS of GDP, with huge wealth and r&d budgets.

5G, and soon 6G, remains central to China's shift from industry to services. According to the government, there are more than 10,000 5G applications, covering 22 industries and related sectors of the national economy, including agriculture, steel, power and mining 25G SFP28 Duplex.

The RAN market in China fell 12 per cent year-on-year, dragged down by 4G LTE, but Huawei and ZTE increased their market share at the expense of Ericsson and Nokia; In 2021, their combined market share is more than 80%.

LC expects China's 5G performance in 2022 to be roughly the same as last year and 2020. In the medium and long term, LC's models suggest That China will launch 6G by 2026 25G SFP28 Duplex.
