China has made significant advancements in nuclear fusion research, establishing the China Fusion Energy Co. (CFEC) with over $2.1 billion in registered capital. Recent breakthroughs include a record-setting plasma confinement duration of over 17 minutes by the "Artificial Sun" tokamak and a new high-temperature superconducting magnet developed by Energy Singularity that achieved a 21.7 tesla magnetic field. Additionally, researchers have developed a novel steel alloy capable of withstanding stronger magnetic fields than that used in the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER). AI
