The Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) nuclear fusion reactor maintained a steady, highly confined loop of plasma — the high-energy fourth state of matter — for 1,066 seconds on Monday (Jan. 20), which more than doubled its previous best of 403 seconds, Chinese state media reported.

    Not propaganda, just a guy commiserating as his country gets flushed down the toilet to keep some oil billionaires rich until the climate collapse.

    Also China is switching off japanese designs in favor of the new fuxing that were designed and manufactured in China and are faster then the latest e7 shinkansen . That’s why Indonesia ordered them for their new HSR. Even if they used japanese trains, they are still light years ahead of the U.S. where we’re still struggling to build our first line.

    America sucks, but China is not better

    For sure politically, but if I we’re to make a bet economically who’s gonna dominate 21st century industries I’m going with China. There was some hope that Bidens IRA would turn that around but those hopes we’re dashed in this past week.

      Ok, while you two are fighting over which holy soil has the fastest trains, Canada, Austrailia, New Zealand, South Korea, and Japan are going to join the EU and have a party without you
