Ma Ying-jeou, former chairman of the Chinese Kuomintang, recently toured the cutting-edge nuclear fusion research facility known as the 'Man-made Sun' in Chengdu, Sichuan Province. The visit highlights growing interest in cross-strait collaboration on next-gen energy solutions.
The Southwestern Institute of Physics, home to China's experimental fusion reactor, aims to replicate the sun's energy production—a potential game-changer for clean power. Ma's trip follows his stop at Harbin Electric Corporation, a powerhouse in energy tech, sparking talks about joint innovation. 'Both sides could achieve remarkable progress by pooling expertise,' Ma noted.
With fusion energy likened to sci-fi tech (think Tony Stark’s arc reactor ), this visit underscores China's push for sustainable breakthroughs. Could cross-strait teamwork accelerate a green energy revolution? Stay tuned!
