China has achieved a significant technological milestone by launching the world's first 10G broadband backbone network, offering unprecedented speeds and virtually no lag.
Developed in partnership with China Mobile, Huawei, and academic institutions, the network stretches across key cities and supports speeds reaching up to 1.2 terabits per second—ten times faster than most global networks in operation today.
This breakthrough positions China at the forefront of global digital infrastructure, enabling next-generation applications like real-time AI, ultra-HD streaming, smart manufacturing, and advanced medical procedures.
The deployment is part of China’s broader ambition to lead in future internet architecture and 6G planning, ahead of rivals like the United States and Europe, which are still in experimental phases of similar technology.
