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

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,
