China's energy transition
China's energy transition program is massive, its ahead on 4th Gen, so if the one they've now built and have turned on, this will be the prototype of the actual 4th Gen rollout. Now Thorium molten salt reactors cannot be used for WMDs, further, they can actually also be fueled with nuclear waste, i.e., they actually dispose of waste from older reactors - I've read the full Party documentation on the nuclear rollout and big excitement about the energy mix they are working on - again, unlike the USA, China is spending money on securing its energy until the end of the century - they do after all plan in generational terms. When compared with EU/UK plans, well, the UK don't have a plan an the EU's plans are impossible, China's are not.
