“Energy Revolution or Military Edge? China’s MASSIVE Fusion Experiment!”
China is building the world’s LARGEST laser fusion research facility—50% bigger than the U.S. National Ignition Facility! Recent satellite images have exposed this highly advanced lab in Mianyang, designed to fire powerful lasers at hydrogen fuel to create nuclear fusion, the same process that powers the sun. But is this a step toward clean, limitless energy, or is it about nuclear weapons research?
This facility could change the global energy race, but it also raises security concerns. If China succeeds, it may lead the world in fusion power, but it could also gain a strategic edge in nuclear technology. Is this a scientific breakthrough or a geopolitical power move?
