Well you weren't exactly specific about whether you were talking about those Chinese in the news recently crossing the Mexican border, or just in general all those working class Chinese in Chinatowns going back to the 1960s, who yeah worked jobs like dishwasher and the really down on their luck ones have to recycle plastic. With respect to the former I don't know what the hell is going on with that, while with respect to the latter its a reality every overseas Chinese, even the ones who grew up middle class, are exposed to.
China approves trial of 5G air-to-ground communication, enabling in-flight internet access

China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) has approved China Mobile's trial of 5G air-to-ground (5G-ATG) technology, which enables users to access the internet on planes, the ministry announced on Friday.
The 5G-ATG trial approval will further improve the spatial dimension of 5G network coverage, expand the industry application scenarios for 5G, and better meet the growing needs of air passengers to access the internet, said the MIIT.
According to the ministry, 5G-ATG, based on 5G public mobile communication technology, establishes a communication link between the ground and the aircraft cabin by setting up special base stations and beam-shaped antennas along the aircraft route in accordance with corresponding international and domestic regulations, so that passengers can access the internet through wireless LAN access in the cabin.
5G-ATG is one of the technological paths to achieving high-quality aviation internet, and also a new business application for 5G and other new technologies in the aviation internet field, said the MIIT.
The technology was not achievable during the 3G and 4G era. But 5G can support data transmission at a movement rate of more than 500 kilometers per hour, Ma Jihua, a veteran tech analyst, told the Global Times on Friday.
The average speed of a civil airliner is about 800-1,000 kilometers per hour.
Ma revealed that the current technology is said to be capable of tracking aircraft at a speed of up to 1,200 kilometers per hour.
"5G-ATG, simply put, launches the 5G base station signal to the sky, which means that passing aircraft can receive the signal at a height of 10,000 meters," said Ma.
Ma said that problems remain in the implementation of 5G-ATG, which means cooperation is needed between civil aviation departments and airlines.
Industry insiders said that there are different technical routes to in-flight internet connectivity, but 5G-ATG is clearly the easiest and lowest-cost option. The application of the technology will further promote the development of smart aviation.
It is estimated that the demand for in-flight data transmission is about 30 gigabytes per flight, and there will be more and more flight data under intelligent operation modes in the future, an industry insider told the Global Times on Friday.
If in-flight Internet access becomes one of the key factors for travelers choosing a flight and if airlines find a profitable business model, it won't take long to make internet access available on all aircraft, said Ma, adding that Air China's Airbus 350s might have been retrofitted to use 5G-ATG technology.
However, 5G-ATG technology can only be applied in continental areas at present, Ma noted, and internet access across oceans is not yet an option.

You will be able to make video calls, WhatsApp and broadcast before impact.
The other system are based on satellite, right? A ground based solution ought to be better.
