China launches the world’s fastest Internet, 1.2 terabits per second, or Huawei’s attempt to stop Huawei leaves the United States and all of us on our knees with our current 100 gigabits.(Jean-Paul Pougala’s lesson in strategic intelligence)

That’s it, China has just beaten the United States to the punch, inventor of the global ‘ internet network, which has just taken a beating because of Huawei and Beijing’s Xinghua University.

4 days ago, on November 16, 2023, over a distance of 3,000 km between Beijing and Guangzhou, with a stopover in Wuhan, Huawei and Beijing’s Xinghua University achieved the feat of passing 1.2 terabits of information through an optical fiber in a single second.

Imagine transmitting 150 4k movies to someone in a single second.

It had been 10 years, since 2013, since the Chinese government had launched this challenge, that of dusting off the American internet, which had remained too slow despite the evolution of a lot of Chinese equipment to go with it.

And if Donald Trump chose to punish exclusively two Chinese telecom companies, Huawei, the world’s leading telecom equipment ieri, and ZTE, a Shanghai-based state-owned company, number two worldwide, it was not by pure chance.

He was aware that these were the two companies at the forefront of research to declare the American interner obsolete.

10 years later, on November 16, 2023, it’s done. From now on, China will be deciding what to do with distance learning in universities and telemedicine at the speed of 1.2 terabits per second.

It makes me laugh to think of all those Western governments that followed the United States in cancelling all 5G contracts with Huawei.

And now we’re already into 6G, because it’s not enough to make data travel at 1.2 terabits per second, we also have to manufacture the equipment that goes with it, and for the moment, only Huawei and ZTE have been preparing for this for 10 years.

To get there, China has had to decouple its Internet from the global American one.

In other words, the Chinese Internet is in itself an intranet, i.e. a closed, autonomous Internet network that can now go 10 times faster than the classic American global Internet, which today stands at 100 gigabits.

And this is the reality we’re about to face if the Americans don’t want to surrender to the useless and already lost battle against Huawei.

After all, China’s intranet has already been upgraded to over one terabit per second. And the Chinese don’t care how fast the world chooses to go.

In trying to stop Huawei, it’s Huawei who has left us all walking at 100 gigabits when China will be going at 1.2 terabits per second.

To put pressure where it hurts, Huawei decided this week to democratize its satellite phone system, by now equipping its bottom-of-the-range Honor with this novelty.

In other words, with a $100 phone (Honor), you’ll be able to dispense with your national telephone operator, which was breaking your back, with a maximum Internet speed of 100 gigabits, while Huawei will be 10 times faster via satellite.
