What’s behind these tensions with China? It seems that the real cause is 5G, the fifth generation of mobile cellular communications, which should revolutionize our world from 2020.

If China will be the first to offer 5G, it will also be able to control the automotive industry that now relies entirely on electric cars, which will be computer-driven for automatic driving.
Of course, one of the concerns of the American administration is not the car, but national security and data collection, where today the US and allies are absolute masters.
