China continues to monopolize the digital world by promoting its 5G networks. Last autumn, the country launched the world's largest commercial network of a new generation. Three leading state-owned mobile operators - China Mobile, China Unicom, and China Telecom - presented new tariffs for their 5G communication services. To enjoy the peak speed, customers will need to pay $45 a month at most. During the ceremony, much was said about China's “global dominance”, “digital Silk Road”, and the fact that no one would leave China in that technological revolution. However, a simple desire to corner the industry and control most of the global wireless technology market lies behind these statements. China strives to reign in information and communication technologies (ICT), artificial intelligence, big data analytics, cloud computing, and blockchain. China does not intend to become the main supplier of new technology, it wants to impose its own ideology. Along with technology products, China will export its own values and norms, expanding the number of its equipment's users. Many countries fear that being the chief architect and administrator of these digital networks and Smart Cities, Beijing will have access to the recipient nations' data through intelligence sharing pacts or through direct server access. That is why some of them have already declined the services of Chinese enterprises.
