The 5G era has raised higher demands on the construction of the rule of law in China. Firstly，China should further advance the reform of the telecommunications system in accordance with the principle of the rule of law，establish a telecoms supervision system compatible with the entire competition law system，encourage the competition between telecommunications operators，and ensure the independence and professionalism of telecom supervision organs. Secondly，China should ensure the security of the telecoms network，and seek certain legal consensus at the global level，so as to protect the interest of Chinese telecommunications manufacturers. Finally，the commercial use of 5G and the development of the telecommunications industry can be legally safeguarded only when the rights of individuals and users are safeguarded. All these require China to further advance the reform and expand the opening-up on the basis of the rule of law and effective protection individual rights.
