China is building a large-scale laser-ignited nuclear fusion research facility in Mianyang to enhance both nuclear weapons design and clean energy pro

Satellite images reveal China is building a massive laser fusion facility, which can be used in nuclear weapons research as well.

Satellite images reveal China's secretive nuclear fusion research facility in Mianyang, raising concerns about its potential impact on both global energy innovation and regional security, particularly for India.

The promise of fusion energy is alluring. If, and when, it comes through, other sources of alternative clean energy, like solar or wind, to tackle the climate crisis could even be redundant. This is why a recent breakthrough has grabbed attention.

The Chinese EAST reactor maintained a temperature of about 100 million degrees Celsius for 18 minutes, setting a new record. Maintaining such high plasma temperatures is crucial for the future of nuclear energy.

China is reportedly constructing a large fusion research facility in the southwestern city of Mianyang, which could contribute to nuclear weapons development and research into energy production capabilities,
