Jun Yu can't avoid contraptions.
More than 20 cell phones, old tablets and different gadgets hide in a side of his Beijing home - a consistently developing tech junkyard.
His loft likewise flaunts a Google Home savvy partner and an Amazon Echo.
"I take three telephones out with me consistently. I utilize a telephone for Chinese applications, I utilize my iPhone for Gmail and western applications, and I utilize my Google Pixel telephone for work," says the 34-year-old tech business person.
His fixation has paid off however. In 2009, he purchased the principal telephone to utilize Android, the product that presently runs over 80% of cell phones.
After a year, the material science graduate, established his very own organization making content for Chinese Android clients. By 2016 he had offered the organization for an undisclosed add up to Alibaba, the Chinese web based business goliath.
Presently he is amped up for the up and coming age of innovation, known as 5G. It guarantees extremely quick web associations for your cell phone - sufficiently quick to download films in merely seconds, or to stream top notch TV.
In October, Jun Yu pre-requested a 5G-prepared cell phone, made by China's Xiaomi.
"4G has empowered numerous things like portable video, progressively vivid gaming. I know 5G will as well. In any case, I don't actually have a clue how yet," he says.
In any case, in the US and UK the rollout of 5G systems has been hampered by a global line more than one of the most significant providers of 5G hardware, China's Huawei.
The US has prohibited the utilization of Huawei hardware in 5G organizes over security fears, and has urged its partners to do likewise. It likewise keeps up a tight command over what US organizations can offer to Huawei, which has disturbed offers of Huawei telephones abroad.
Industry examiners like Edison Lee, an investigator from monetary administrations bunch Jefferies, see the US pressure on Huawei as an endeavor to break China's potential predominance of the worldwide 5G advertise.
"The tech war depends on America's contention that China's innovative advances have been based upon taken licensed innovation rights, and overwhelming government endowments, and their conviction that Chinese telecom hardware isn't sheltered, and is a national security risk to the US and its partners," he says.
"As Huawei and [fellow Chinese firm] ZTE progressively rule the worldwide telecom hardware advertise, the western world will be increasingly defenseless against Chinese spying," Lee includes.
Huawei has in every case firmly denied that its innovation can be utilized for spying.
While western countries stress over one of the key providers of 5G innovation, China is hustling ahead with its 5G rollout.
On 31 October Chinese telecom organizations propelled 5G benefits in excess of 50 Chinese urban communities, making one of the world's biggest 5G systems.
Huawei has manufactured an expected half of the system.
The Chinese Ministry of Information guarantees that in only 20 days the nation enlisted in excess of 800,000 supporters. Examiners foresee China will have upwards of 110 million 5G clients by 2020.
What's more, China's tech area is caught up with thinking of employments for the new tech.
On an enormous plot of land in northern Hong Kong, analysts are creating 5G controlled self-sufficient vehicles.
Specialists at Hong Kong Applied Science and Technology Research Institution are working in association with China Mobile, the biggest telecom organization in China.
They see 5G as being especially valuable for self-driving autos, enabling the vehicles to fabricate an exact image of what's happening around them, by speaking with different vehicles, traffic sign and sensors in the street.
"For purchasers, 5G will conceivably change how we cooperate with other. For the administration, 5G will change streets and street foundation to empower new applications like improved helped driving and in the long run self-sufficient driving," says Alex Mui, a specialist on the venture.
China isn't the main nation to turn out 5G. Be that as it may, it is building one of the world's greatest 5G showcases rapidly.
While Huawei and ZTE are doing great from that development, they might in any case want to break into rewarding abroad markets like the US.
Talking at a 5G show in Beijing in November, China's priest for industry and data blamed America for blaming cybersecurity for protectionism.
"No nation should boycott an organization in its 5G arrange rollout by utilizing the unproved claims of cybersecurity dangers," said Miao Wei.
Industry investigators are not certain that the line among China and the US will be sifted through at any point in the near future.
"We consider the to be strains as a mechanical Cold War, as tech patriotism escalates," says Ben Wood, head of research, at CCS Insight.
"With the Chinese government solidly dedicated to building up China as a world-driving 5G country, the open door for Huawei in its home market is colossal.
"Be that as it may, the remainder of the world can't bear to get left behind, and without access to Huawei foundation US portable system administrators specifically should depend on elective providers who might be increasingly costly and less progressed with 5G."
