China is the answer to fusion problem

CBCNN is out with its usual hyperboles about China.



The Hindu : Opinion / News Analysis : A fusion solution to the energy problem

China is not alone in its fusion ambitions. India and South Korea are also both currently working on next generation tokamaks.
But CBCNN will come out with detailed reports of only the Chinese activities.

In China, it is clear that over and above the pure research value of fusion there is a strong nationalistic element to the country's desire to invest in science and hence achieve pre-eminence in cutting-edge scientific research. A large Chinese national flag proudly sits atop EAST, serving to underscore this point.
Is this not true of India, or any other country for that matter?

The resultant gap in fusion research is being filled by Asian countries such as China and India
But CBCNN reserves all its praise for China.

Chindu proudly drumbeats that there is a strong nationalistic element to the country's desire to invest in science. However, even a slight mention of nationalistsic desires in Bharat is immediately decried as right-wing Hindu nationalistic conspiracy, jingoistic, revisionist, revanchist (all commie empty rhetoric) etc. etc. Chinese leaders should have done great punyam to have such a loyal adopted putra.
