US media: China is investing a large amount of resources in nuclear fusion research, while the US hopes that the private sector will take the lead.
Nuclear fusion energy has the advantages of abundant fuel, no risk of meltdown, and no long-term radioactive waste, and is expected to meet the huge power demands of fields such as artificial intelligence and end the reliance on fossil fuels.
China and the US are competing fiercely in the field of nuclear fusion. China quickly allocates resources through government-led initiatives, while the US relies on private companies for innovation.
China plans to take "extraordinary measures" to achieve breakthroughs in nuclear fusion during its five-year plan from 2026 to 2030. A startup company in Shanghai has almost replicated an important engineering breakthrough of a top US nuclear fusion company in a very short time.
