    The article says they, and another facility in France, achieved over 1000 seconds last year. I dunno, we’ve been told we’re getting close to fusion power for about 70 years, now. I’m not optimistic.

      If you look at the amount of funding fusion has been receiving up to now, it’s not really surprising that not much progress has happened. If China ends up devoting resources towards making it happen at state level, that’s a whole different game.
