China has made a silent revolution in the use of 5G technology!

A middle-aged woman with a lung tumor originally diagnosed three years ago was selected for this high-tech 5G remote surgical operation after a thorough review of the patient's medical records.  The highly complex robotics operation lasted for an hour and was successfully completed without incident.

Moreover, surgeons at Shanghai Chest Hospital efficiently control this robotics system from a distance of 5,000 kilometers through powerful 5G telecommunications.  In fact, Shanghai Chest Hospital in China has surpassed the record of 1,000 chest operations per year using surgical robotics system for the first time.


According to China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, China's 5G network now covers every city in the country and reaches nearly 90% of the country's rural areas.  Moreover, as of July 2024, more than 3.84 million 5G base stations have been installed throughout China.  Which is about 60% of the total 5G stations around the world. 


Moreover, China is currently conducting extensive research on several new high-tech technologies in the medical field.  Among them, artificial intelligence, nano medicine, genetics and robotics engineering are one of the researches.  In particular, according to the last 2022 calculations, more than 290,000 robotics systems are being used in every field of industrial production in China.  Which is about 50% of the total global robot usage.

In recent years new technology innovation, research and technological development has been progressing very rapidly over all countries of the world.  In particular, China spends about hundreds of billions of US dollars on world-class education, technological innovation and research.  Moreover, this red giant China alone controls about 38% of global trade.
