Starlink operates at ~500 Mbps (shared) today and they claim it will do 1 Gbps next year so I wouldn't say this Chinese demo is ahead.

But it literally is ahead though. How can you say it's not ahead when starlink does not have this capability right now?

Sure, they claim 1Gbps next year, at which point this Chinese demo won't be ahead ahead anymore.

How can you belittle a current achievement based on the uncertain claim of a future achievement from someone else?
