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

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

China appears to be building a large laser-ignited fusion research centre in the southwestern city of Mianyang, experts at two analytical organisations say, a development that could aid nuclear weapons design and work exploring power generation.

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 number of Chinese operational nuclear warheads has increased by more than 100 to over 600, the Pentagon reported.

China is building a gigantic laser-ignited fusion power laboratory that is 50pc larger than its US counterpart as the two superpowers spar for energy supremacy.

China is constructing a massive laser-ignited fusion research facility in Mianyang, with a structure resembling the U.S. National Ignition Facility (NIF). Satellite images suggest the experiment bay is 50% larger than NIF,

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,
