Resumo

The implementation of the 5G network has led to one of the most serious diplomatic clashes in recent years. The commercial war between the United States and China to lead the development of the fifth generation of mobile Internet is being fought, among other battlefields, on social networks. Our research analyzes the role of these communication tools in the framework of this international conflict. It examines the use of social networks and their value in the development of what is known as cyber-diplomacy. At the same time, we look into the decisions taken by both states aimed at banning the activity of certain social networks in their respective territories. The study shows the importance of social networks in the transmission of messages between the contending parties and how they use them to attack and defend their respective interests.

La implantación de la red 5G es la causa de uno de los enfrentamientos diplomáticos más graves de cuantos se han vivido en los últimos años. La guerra comercial que mantienen Estados Unidos y China por liderar el desarrollo de la quinta generación de Internet móvil se está librando, entre otros campos de batalla, en las redes sociales. La presente investigación realiza un análisis del papel de dichas herramientas de comunicación en el marco de este conflicto internacional. Para ello, se examina el uso de las redes sociales y el valor de estas en el desarrollo de lo que se conoce como ciberdiplomacia. Al mismo tiempo, se analizan las decisiones tomadas por ambos Estados encaminadas a la prohibición de la actividad de determinadas redes sociales en sus respectivos territorios. El estudio plantea la importancia de las redes sociales en la transmisión de mensajes entre las partes contendientes y cómo estas son utilizadas por parte de los gobiernos de ambos países para llevar a cabo sus acciones de ataque y defensa en dicha guerra.
