China’s growing advancements in artificial intelligence and nuclear fusion have sparked concern among Western governments and investors.

DeepSeek, an AI company, has quickly emerged as a competitor to U.S. dominance in the field, while satellite images of a large facility in Mianyang suggest the construction of a giant laser nuclear fusion research center.

This facility may accelerate China’s push to surpass the West in fusion technology, which promises clean, limitless energy.

China’s recent fusion experiment, achieving a record 1,066 seconds of sustained reactions, signals the country’s serious commitment to mastering this energy source, The Telegraph has reported.

With significant investments over the past 25 years, China is rapidly closing the gap in fusion technology, positioning itself as a major global player.
