Telecommunications frontline: U.S. strengthens “lattice” partnerships to push China out of the 6G sector

On December 7, 2025, the United States began preparations for the first-ever Tokyo meeting of the GCOT (Global Coalition on Telecommunications) coalition, also known as the "telecommunications group of the Five Eyes."

Within its framework, government representatives from the USA, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, and Japan are to coordinate new policy standards in the areas of 6G and AI, as well as conduct negotiations on cybersecurity, quantum technologies, and Open RAN.

Representatives of national technology companies responsible for implementing high-speed and secure internet will also join their work. The main goal of this year's GCOT meeting, however, is defined as containing the PRC in the sector of advanced telecommunications technologies.
