Japan has announced plans to support the development of the Philippine 5G network in an effort to counter China’s influence in the region’s telecommunications sector.
The move comes amid concerns over potential security risks associated with Chinese technology. Japan’s support aims to bolster the Philippines’ digital infrastructure, ensuring its independence and reducing reliance on Chinese telecommunications equipment.
By providing assistance and expertise, Japan hopes to enhance the country’s connectivity and promote a secure and diverse telecommunications ecosystem.
This collaboration between Japan and the Philippines reflects a growing trend of countries seeking alternatives to Chinese technology, particularly in critical infrastructure sectors like 5G networks.
