Abstract
The use of 5G technology by the People's Republic of China and the Kingdom of Thailand. China has different goals, with China classifying infrastructure to promote the transportation industry and smart manufacturing, while Thailand is focusing on the application of 5G in the agricultural sector. Tourism and Public Health System. Objectives: This study aims to examine the policies for the management and utilization of 5G technology in the People’s Republic of China and the Kingdom of Thailand and to compare the policies for the management and utilization of 5G technology between the People’s Republic of China and the Kingdom of Thailand. Method: Qualitative Research by Content Analysis from China's National 5G Development Plan (2021-2023). and policy documents, strategic plans, and academic reports related to 5G technology during the period 2015 – 2023 and Thailand's 5G Action Plan (2023–2027). Results: The People's Republic of China has attached great importance to the development of 5G technology by building more than 1.29 million network stations in 2021 to support the application of 5G technology in a variety of industries. The Kingdom of Thailand has started to expand its 5G network by focusing on integration with the 4G system (Non-Standalone: NSA) and focusing on reducing digital disparities, especially in rural areas and disadvantaged populations. Conclusion: The People's Republic of China has made progress and invested in 5G infrastructure to develop the industry extensively, resulting in the People's Republic of China being a source of cheap products that are sold all over the world. While Thailand is starting and focusing on reducing digital inequality to support access to technology among diverse populations, and it takes time to develop a 5G technology network to cover the development of various industries in the Kingdom of Thailand, a comparison of the utilization of 5G technology helps to understand the factors that affect the success of 5G technology that can help develop various industries that have a positive impact on the economies of both countries.
