Why can't foreign telecom enterprises enter China?

China's basic telecommunications business is monopolized by the state, and the licenses and spectrum are not auctioned. At present, the licenses of the three major operators are all administrative licenses and have not paid any fees. But apart from the system, I personally understand that the state has not issued licenses to foreign-funded companies, and there are several considerations:

There is a general saying that there is a natural monopoly in basic telecommunications services, especially in our vast country. Natural monopoly brings corresponding income and profits, and it will naturally lose money if it is distributed to foreign-funded enterprises.

Information security, many students will say that many countries have foreign operators and are not worried about information security. Yes, it is indeed controllable in theory, but you can refer to the following non-state-owned Google example. Many times it is really inconvenient to control, especially there are many things that are inconvenient to say directly. For example, the filtering of some key words, confidential communication of key departments, network control in special periods, etc., and even some problems such as G*F*W, saying that too many people are afraid of drinking tea, everyone can mix with Zhihu every day and use their brains.

Social welfare. Village-to-village communication project should be heard a little. This family really doesn't make money. How about paying more? If the United States is taken as an example, Tmobile, Verizon, AT & amp； T and SPRINT, how many can reach the coverage of any of the three major domestic companies? Although I have never been to the United States, I hear every day that many poor areas, old and young, have no coverage at all.
