France has upped the ante in the quest for fusion power by maintaining a plasma reaction for over 22 minutes – a new record. The milestone was reached on February 12 at the Commissariat à l'énergie atomique et aux énergies alternatives (CEA) WEST Tokamak reactor.
Well, I’m still skeptical, but I have far more trust in France’s reporting than Chinese claims.
They’re part of the same global research effort.
Nice jingoism tho
China had a long history of fraudulent science that they need to dig out of to gain a good reputation.
Nothing like the very highly reliable pharmaceutical “science” done in the US, amirite?
Its not like we ever had “science” come from the US that said an extremely powerful opioid wasn’t addictive, amirite?
Do you know what “collaboration” means?
It’s almost like they’ve got peers all over the world looking at their data!
Because a shit ton of fraudulent science hasn’t come out of the US or Europe. Nope. No sir.
huh, I learned a few new words today
for others who want to know

Who’s talking about America?
America doesn’t have a government. It’s a continent. Are you possibly referring to the USA?
In North America they teach that North America and South America are 2 separate continents.
When someone refers to “America” in the contexts of countries they 9 times out of 10 mean the US. Since people from there usually call themselves “Americans” rather than “United statians”
Comrade Xinnie.
This is great if so, is it so?
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ITER
Oh, good old ITER. There where news from records from China, anyone know if this is related to ITER-project somehow and is it multinational project?
edit. probably this: https://www.livescience.com/planet-earth/nuclear-energy/chinas-artificial-sun-shatters-nuclear-fusion-record-by-generating-steady-loop-of-plasma-for-1-000-seconds
Yup it is related to ITER -project, so this is a nice thing going on in international scene apparently
SUM: it is so
So just blatant Sinophobia.
China: Spews blatant and obvious lies about everything that does or does not cast a shadow. Heavily censors any source.
Some guy: I don’t trust information coming from China.
China (and shills): That’s sinophobic!!
Yeah. Surely we can believe the anti-China stuff! Our own government wouldn’t lie to us! /s
I never said “our” Government wouldn’t lie to us (unless you’re Chinese, in which case they definitely will). I just said that the Chinese government constantly lies, which is easily seen by anyone with eyes.
