China welcomes international cooperation in the development of 6G as the cutting-edge technology is expected to be commercialized globally around 2030 based on the estimates of the International Telecommunication Union, said Wang Jiangping, vice-minister of industry and information technology, at the ongoing Boao Forum for Asia.

"China is open for 6G cooperation and welcomes experts and companies from around the world to achieve win-win results and make joint contributions to global mobile communications," Wang said.

Wang noted that the country has been attaching great importance to the research and development of 6G and has already carried out some trial experiments.

China has also established the IMT-2030 (6G) Promotion Group, a flagship platform in China that promotes 6G R&D and international cooperation, since 2018, and has already joined global researchers and experts in the field, he added.
