How China leaped 15 years ahead of the world in nuclear power: the same way as in everything else
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 авг 2024
- China is now without peer in the nuclear power generation industry, after employing a whole-of-government strategy, vast financing at low cost, supply chain dominance, and coordination of university research.
This from a comprehensive analysis of China's rise in nuclear power, from a non-entity just 30 years ago to the undisputed world leader, and now about 15 years ahead of the United States and Europe.
The same strategies and efforts that China used to dominate nuclear power is identical to the ones used in dozens of other industries, and with the same results.

How Innovative Is China in Nuclear Power?
itif.org/publi...
I just visited a research lab that's working on printable solar panels that is fast and 1/4 the current price to produce. ... And the Western countries are screaming "dumping, over capacity, unfair competition and government subsidies" jargons....
The fact is that China innovates to make things faster, cheaper, and better quality.
Here is a little secrete... the west is putting barely any funding into solar. Big oil does not like competition, so there is almost no money going to developing better solar cells. So western countries screaming unfair competition, is the equivalent to a guy in a race, sitting by the side of the tracks screaming at the people passing him... "Don't you dare pass me." He shouts while sitting beside the race tract. "It is unfair you are passing me," he yells while lying down.
China mass produce for the average customers and make marginal profits from bulk sales while the sub-arctic western world produces to make maximum profits and manipulation of supply and demand flows
😱
Nah we all get our solar panels from China. Sometimes they're imported by an American brand but no we don't really make them. In this case, there isn't enough industry to pay off the media and write pro-domestic industry propaganda that harms the American consumers. That's not the case for cars though, since the UAW is one of Biden's top donors, and he is very close to them. So he put a 100% tax on Chinese EVs.
US overcapacity in complaints and finger pointing
I remember watching a documentary series on the Chinese nuclear power plant. They were talking about this special seal (sealing the two parts of the pressure vessel) where only 1 company in the US could manufacture. The price for these seals were very expensive and delivery times unstable. This seal was considered a key and strategic component. To cut you the chase, the Chinese wanted to license this technology from the US company where they can manufacture this seal to reduce maintenance time. The US company laughed saying the Chinese would never be able to manufacture this without US know how. 18 months later the Chinese where able to manufacture a better seal at a fraction of the cost. This seems to be the theme. Once China is forced against the wall, they will innovate their way out of it.
Boeing cannot seal the helium gas now😅

One final thought -- if I were a Chinese NVIDIA engineer/scientist/executive , I'd cash out my equity now and buy a plane ticket to China.
But they are already in China?
If I am an American NVIDIA engineer ... , I would do the same. To work with colleagues focused only on technological improvements so that they may be shared more broadly ...
Not all Chinese staying in US are payriotic,some are white supremacy worshippers
That's why there's a rally now. Who's gonna be holding the bag tho?
The answer is simple. The Chinese CAN innovate and will innovate just like their ancestor did thousand years ago.
In 2000 I was a factory owner in Shandong
It was around 2003 when I first heard an American talk of the need “to contain China”. To the Chinese this was a threat to blockade China like Japan did before WWII
From that threat
China established Belt & Road (making blockade ineffective)
China built their Navy (the Taiwan independence movement won with 38% plurality in 2000 and the U.S. was flirting with that secessionist group)
China made self sufficiency a strategic goal, again in fear of a U.S. blockade
Just to add to this ... the did the sane to Japan in the later 70's and early 80's ... when Japan's innovation in consumer electronics and cars soared. On can say the same about present day Germany -- one of the goals of US dominance is already in hand -- make Europe totally dependent on the US, and less so on Russia or China.
Yet the German leadership is still in dreamland bowing to America's beck and call. Pity the German people in having such leaders.@@AnotherExtraFist
@@AnotherExtraFisttotally agree
Trade war and financial sanction.... name it, US will come up with it. That is why China and now Japan is dumping US Treasuries! We are living in an interesting time.
PRICS is the loser club 😂
Notice the role of the People's Republic of China GOVERNMENT. This is leadership with the PEOPLE in mind. It doesn't change direction every four years it is NOT at the whim of capitalist investors. There is vision, determination, true leadership. It didn't get all this money by luck or accident or greedy investments by oligarchs. Brilliant leaders used socialism with Chinese characteristics to manage resources such that a surplus could be used to foster & support development & prosperity FOR THE PEOPLE!
Agree. Good experienced and educated leadership working for the people is the ground China's success has been built Compare the mythical democratic model and its corruption and the outcome is obviou. The west knows this but ails to acknoledge reality. A successful company does not fire their management after 3-4 years and take random people off the street to continue management.
I've been wondering why this is the case, why the Chinese leadership and CCP are currently getting it right? Some of my educated guesses/theories are that most of the leadership are technocrats, most of them are engineers or economists including Xi Jinping and much of the Politburo. Most of them suffered during the Cultural Revolution through varying degrees and that has created a humanistic/meritocratic mindset that allowed them to stamp out much of the corruption since Deng Xiaoping's reforms and allowed them to focus on what's best for the people and have the best and brightest run the country and define policy. I'll admit that's more possible in China than in the chaos of the "democratic" US/West which is usually led by lawyers focusing on money, re-election, and a lowest common denominator, transactional "what have you done for me lately" mentality. Suffering often produces mature and superior leaders. Also the "century of humiliation" in the minds of every Chinese probably helps them focus too.

@@kenw.4539 Your theory is way wrong. Too superficial. You have to have a deep understanding of the Chinese civilization to find answer.

Welch trained mcNierny the head of Boeing 🙄 who gets away with getting whistle blowers in his organization to disappear.
In the U.S., building a new nuclear powered plant is like giving birth to a cow. It’s extremely painful, time consuming (some required over 10 years to get approved), most expensive (cost overruns) and short operation periods. While the Chinese has needs for 100s not in 50 years, but in 5 to 10 years. Their demand kept on expanding. They have to streamline their building processes, costs reduction (economy of scale), longevity of operations and maximize capacity. Kevin, how do you compete against that? In China, they needed everything in massive scales. That’s how they advanced. Any new improvement they could learn, will save them billions in U.S. dollars terms. Love your insightful thoughts Kevin. Your precious times are most appreciated as always.
American nuclear powerplants are, for whatever ridiculous reason, often custom-made designs and layouts where the only standardized parts are the safety regulations (questionable) and quite literally nothing else, not even the actual nuclear generator itself. One of the biggest reasons why China was able to streamline its construction process was from the lessons it learned from building out its HSR network: standardize every single component, design, layout, and processes.
If you visit any HSR stations, you will immediately notice how they have a standardized interior layout, regardless of the artistic decorations. Alternatively, if you are in a Chinese city that has a fairly massive subway system like Shanghai or Shenzhen or Chongqing, each subway station is literally built based on a standard set of templates.
People forget that standards matter in Chinese society because the first dynasty was made possible when Qin Shihuang literally standardized everything, from weights and lengths to the written script.
How do you compete against that? The CIA is working on it. They are plotting another uprising in Tibet again. Openly.
Chinese nuclear technology has leapt from zero to 15 years ahead of US, in a duration of 20 years. This is a speed which mathematicians and relativity experts find it hard to comprehend, let alone ordinary people like us.
Well, China got more scientists than the USA. The graduates are well respected and they got the opportunities.
The USA, not so much, the graduates are not even well respected anymore. Science students are more respected in China than in the USA.

Kudos to the Chinese.❤❤❤
The Chinese had published books of building regulations 1,200 years ago whilst we were literally making mud huts.
This is very true, thank you for your great comment
Wait until the robots arrive, and everyone has one. Who will be the boss then?
In the past 40 odd years, innovation wasn't a priority of China. In technology, China had a 100 years to catch up with the west. China had to put its head down, focus on this and with new insights do what the west had done but better. China has almost caught up and it is time to move ahead. Many 20th century technologies have reached their limits and replacements are being worked on. Nuclear power being one and semiconductor being one of many. These are where we will see new innovations from China. It will dominate the next wave. America dominated the world in the 20th century. The 21st century will be China.

China is also free from certain lobbies from influencing it. Meanwhile, these particular insidisious lobbies have a stranglehold on the USA and USA is incapable or making reasonable, diplomatic, or pragmatic decisions that will benefit Americans because of this insidious lobby.

@Soyepita-Pay-lh5eq And that is exactly why the USA has lost all trust from the global south, the USA is run by zionists and globalists
When I was in graduate school here in the USA there were 2 American students counting myself and 13 Chinese students. Even with the language barrier the Chinese students were far better prepared in their earlier levels of education than us. They also work very very hard. China has a virtual army of engineers, physicists, chemists, and biologists. I would guess they outnumber us by 20 to 1 in technical fields…. at least. China deserves credit for their hard work.

Without a doubt, this year will be worse than the last. I lost a lot of money last year as a result of bad investment choices that I would not have made if I hadn't been so worried about my portfolio. I kept investing, but I couldn't determine whether to start paying for a house. In the end, I sold my positions, and the house needed more work than I had planned. I'm not sure how long I can keep going like this
True. My portfolio was diversified across several markets with the help of a financial planner, and were able to achieve over a million in net profit among high dividend yield equities, ETFs, and bonds. It is vital that you have a variety of exposure, including in firms that are currently generating cash flows.

For me the most pitiable moment was when the UK went cap in hand to China asking it to built us new nuclear reactors. Wasn't the UK there at the beginning developing nuclear energy? And now it can't even build a domestic reactor? Shocking.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I worked in the research industry. China definitely still has funding problem. You can never fund everything but China is strategic in allocating the funding resources in places where it will make the most impact and in line with national objectives.
Because China does not print their money out of thin air..
Funding in China is to many companies, the best and fittest survive! Western countries funding is to those large companies supported by lobbyists. Fierce Competition in China encourages more innovations. I think.
@@rajahua6268were the same in the western world too, but this time they need a reset.

That's a fact.
In general up to a point, but it has not stopped the current conflicts, eg in Ukraine, Israel. A multi-polar world may be better than uni- or bi- as an ability to switch allegiance between 3+ powers, which appears to be the way we are heading at present.

Few years ago, I was listen to tech insiders about how terrible the Westinghouse was. In the early 2000s, Chinese was trying to work with Westinghouse to build nuclear power plants, and they quickly found out those Westinghouse designs were only good for PPT, it was unrealistic, and dangerous to be built.
Westinghouse got their nuclear technology fm Alstom of France, whom the American government hv bullied to give up their tech to Westinghouse via false accusations….😢😢😢
@@andrewcruz-nz1eb I remember that case, I remember the CEO of Alstom were arrest by us government like they did with meng wanzhou. However unfortunately the Alstom did not provide the level of support to him as Huawei did to Meng wanzhou. Very unfortunate story. Alstom was force to give up their tech.
As the child of a Fusion Physics professor, I have always kept a close eye on news in this field. I vividly remember being astonished and incredulous when I read about the International Conference on Fusion Physics taking place in Beijing back in the 1990s. At that time, like many people in the US, I primarily associated China with being a major clothing sweatshop. Then China moved at lighting speed.
To my surprise, the UK actually contracted China to construct a Thorium nuclear reactor in their country. This move solidified China's capabilities and expertise in the field. While the US halted fission reactor construction years ago and Germany closed down its reactors, China has been actively building nuclear fission reactors every few months, not only within its own borders but also in various countries around the world (Egypt, Bangladesh, Iran, Slovakia, Brazil, Turkey, India). Many countries don't even want the US to build a nuke plant for them. I can't help but wonder how they managed to achieve this without the input and involvement of the Western countries.
After deindustrialization, the West doesn't need as much electricity. This is determined by market demand and supply. If the demand is gone, how can technology develop?
Traditional industries have huge lobbying groups that can easily nip the promotion of new technologies at the legislative level, such as 5G, EV, and photovoltaics. Any change and innovation means a threat to the monopoly. There is no doubt that what the United States is following today is China's late Qing playbook, stifling emerging technologies at home and closing itself off to the outside world to create tariff barriers.
Because they studied, learn and work in the west, then with the experience and knowledge they return home and built their own. This is the same as in the past when the west learn alot from the dynastic China.
as Kevin stated, everything China set out to achieve, they accomplished with great success - that's Chinese culture!
Chinese don't afraid of problems. They like to solve problems. Chinese loves challenges.

Someone could have predicted this would happen if you look at the PISA scores when China started taking the test along with other nations. China students usually score first among 90 countries.

What the press seldom talks about is the number of Chinese scientists being persecuted in the US.
Chinese exclusion act 2.0
Before the Chinese came en masse to study in USA, the Jews dominated the academia in USA. The Jews were the most brilliant students, and most of the university professors, researchers and scientists were Jews.
But after the Chinese came to study in USA, they showed that they were even better than the Jews. The number of Chinese professors, scientists and researchers grew rapidly to the point that the Jews felt that they are being displaced as the King of the U.S. academia. So, the Jews began a campaign of lies, smears, threats and blackmails against the Chinese professors, scientists and researchers in order to push the Chinese professors, scientist and researchers out of USA and to discourage the Chinese to come and study in USA.
Also lots of Chinese students being harassed as spies if there's even a vague mention somewhere in their background of something the US government doesn't like. A Chinese graduate student close to finishing her studies was denied re-entry into the US recently and forced to spend $1,400 on a plane ticket to immediately return to China. No one can figure out why except she did mention she would like to use AI to make a hospital run smoother in the future. She was automatically banned from the US for five years with no appeal available.
Best favour the US neocons ever did for China, forcefully persuading these Chinese scientists to recognise knowledge is neither borderless nor non-racial and returning to their Motherland is the best option. This is a feat the CPC wasn't very successful in achieving. 😅

Impossible. Even for the Chinese.
One important factor for China's success in taking leading roles in technologies is that Chinese people believe in science. United State has been stepping at the same spot for 20 years because unjustified fear against nuclear power. President Obama was convinced by the future of nuclear power and wanted to push the R&D. But, there was a disaster in Japan caused by tsunami. American people just turn their heads away from nuclear power without a bit of understanding of safety improvement of new generation of nuclear power plants, despite that all scientists explain otherwise. Even now, 50% of American don't believe in climate change is real. If more people believe in science, they would know US's tariff on Chinese goods is hurting their own future.
Nuclear power is useless. Solar with battery will replace all electricity needed by the time you could build one nuclear plant.
Westinghouse and GE designed nuclear reactors but like all businesses wanted more profits rather than more safety which Fukushima's deficiencies displayed against the tsunami. In this case it was Japan's decision.
I used to go to church where the pastor said. We dont believe in facts we believe in The Truth which comes from the Word. Reject the wisdom.of men but embrace the foolishness of God. So ......
Sad fact is that US and western nations are more concerned about pronouns than science
20 year? It is more like 45 years for the US. US became weary of nuclear power after the Three Mile Island incident in 1979.
TBMs, tunnel boring machines. China has now 70% market share, 15 years ago, they imported those.

The Chinese are gamblers, and are betting on the continuing stupidity of westerners.
I’ve been consulting for refinery and petrochemical plant efficiency and have advised more than 60 plants globally, including several in China. They’ve come a long way in 30 years. I used to cringe at some of the backward facilities and practices in China in the 1990’s. Now their plants are among the best in the World, and still improving fast. The West has a lot to learn.

Thank you for spelling it out to some thick skulled people that the TREND is China is catching up and leading in nearly every industry.
China is leading in nuclear power technology because they are already deploying grid level gen 3 reactors. Some designs are more mature, but they are pursuing them. They are not looking back.
America should watch this video over and over again
There shouldn't be anything in this vlog that the American administration didn't know already. They either didn't want to change, or they couldn't because of lobbying.
Free energy, humanity dream. Go China.
The only free energy is the light that comes from the sun, that is converted into plant materials for us and the animals to use. Everything else comes at a cost.
The financialization of the US economy and the consequent deindustrialization has been and will continue to be the death knell of American international power.
this was the case with almost every empire in the past. Peak prosperity led to decadence and slacking off - let other 'lesser' peoples do the tough work while you control the money. The problem is, over time, the workers get stronger while the nobles get flabbier.
Money is not meant to control people rather it is meant to be put to work producing more money for you. You cannot build wealth without putting money in its rightful place
My outlook on money changed when I realized someone making $200K can retire broke & someone making $80K can retire a millionaire. With the current market movement, you have $100K to invest. Where are you investing it?
You're correct!! I make a lot of money without relying on the government. Investing in stocks and digital currencies is beneficial at this moment .

You forget to mention that the chinese are not only comeback to china for the money.
They come back to help build the country and because of the sentiment in the west.
Almost no other country is doing that like the chinese, e.g. India. Most Indian goes abroad to have a good living, no problem with this, we all do.
But the difference is that most of them are not going back to India to help the country. I've seen this, I worked alot with Indians.

This is result between government that heavily invest in military and heavily invest in technology and economy.
When I was living in Beijing I visited the Train Museum.
There was a magnificent display of international tech the Chinese bought from all around the world, from Siemens, General Electric, Alsthom, Hitachi, even from the Soviets etc ...
They travelled abroad and visited all the factories (we will buy thousand of your brand 😏). They bought 1, 10, 100 or 1000 of them. Then they dismantled and analysed one of each.
And started with providing spares (who doesn't like a cheap product?) and developed their own industrial production base slowly, from scratch. Then they started building their own trains, metro and then high speed trains... All along displacing the western manufacturers... Not by buying them out (the America. Way) just pushing them away...
It was 2016, years earlier I travelled from Shanghai airport to the city in a maglev train at about 500km/h.
Being French 🇨🇵, and proud of our "TGV" (high speed train) I saw the writing on the wall:
China started with NOTHING, in about 20 years they took over train manufacturing, an "industrial Revolution tech". Ending with innovation AND autonomy! What would keep them away from any other industry??? 🤔. Clearly, nothing, unless a war...
This is the Chonese blueprint for every single industry. This train museum was even stating this fact clearly. Being French, again, I can understand their view. We ourselves developed our own industry without American help... With just brains from our "Grandes Écoles" Polytechniques etc... and political will.
Why China couldn't do the same?
For western people NOT wanting to understand that we HAD our good time 🙈🙉 is just painful to see 🤨
In 2007 the first time I went to China and even today, I still hear the same litany:
"yes BUT Chinese people do not innovate!"
Like a mantra, our elites don't want to see this train coming right their way...
This is hubris and arrogance!
It is time to embrace this change, this new paradigm if we don't want to be cast aside like "old ranting people shouting at the sky!!" 🧐 And left struggling with our own demise.
Time to WAKE up 🧐 if it is not too late 🤷🤨
Be great!
I think China has perfected the art of creating new technology and making new innovations to current technology. They have all the supply chains from raw materials to finished product, and invest heavily in education as well as research and development.
China has a lot of smart people AND a lot of money. India also has a lot of smart people but we lack the money. US has people who are figuring out their gender. So no wonder the US R&D sector is filling up with Chinese and Indians. Due to the lack of opportunities back home, Indians don't return but the Chinese can. They bring their knowledge, experience with them and help push China ahead. So who will win this century? I think we have a clear answer.

Your vlogs are very informative and up to date. What I have realised is, that if a country needs to develop, it needs tangible goods produced.
Majority of all technology comes from the East or the Asian people was like that a thousand years ago and it’s coming back
This is not to be surprised, after all Chinese people are the smartest and most devoted.. Once they set the goal they are determined to accomplish it and they always do.
if there is a divine chosen people, it would be definitely be the Chinese.
The Israeli's may not agree with you. BTW, the German Nazis believed the Aryans and Jews are the most intelligent race. Chinese in that era were being forced fed opium by the British Empire and that ended in double disaster.
You are on the verge of spreading blasphemy according to either the Old Testament or the New Testament.
One would reckon only the Jews and the people under the US regime are the ones that ever dared to claim to be the divine chosen people. For millennia, Chinese people always believe there is THE supreme power above mankind, which they call "Tian (pronounced with the first tone in Mandarin Chinese)."

In the late 1950s through the 1970s, the US government was afraid of competition from the Soviet Union and was worried about being leapfrogged. For that reason the US government began heavily subsidizing research projects in space travel/aeronautics, nuclear power, telecommunications, transportation/logistics for the purpose of keeping the US ahead of the USSR in these important disciplines. The US government heavily supported projects at MIT, Harvard, Princeton, Yale, Carnegie/Mellon, University of Illinois, University of Chicago, Stanford, Berkeley, UCLA, Caltech, AT&T Bell laboratories and others. By 1969, Neil Armstrong was walking on the moon. A total of twelve Americans have walked on the moon-most recently 19 December 1972. So many useful and important spinoffs resulted from this research-including the microchip-that the US was technologically far ahead of every other nation.
Then in 1981, Ronald Reagan and his conservative ideologues and zealots came to power. For them, the government was always the problem, never the solution , no matter what-even though it was primarily the US government that put 12 men on the moon. Reagan began indiscriminately privatizing and deregulating EVERYTHING. Government subsidies for research and development were slashed. The private sector was supposed to do it all.
Well, guess what? The private sector can’t do it all. There are some important and necessary projects that are just too risky or not profitable enough to suit the private sector. Furthermore, some government regulation is absolutely necessary to prevent fraud, waste and abuse (e.g. Savings & Loan fiasco, 2008 Financial crisis, Boing 737 Max fiasco, etc.).
The United States was on the right track in the 1970s. Then the US government began believing in corrupt ideology instead of science. Now you see the result.
Yup we surely were on that big ole moon in 1969. Were you alive then to see the show?
You are absolutely correct.
The achievements you mentioned are mainly due to Hollywood's breakthroughs in imaging technology.
@@zen-mc4ju
Nope. The achievements that I mentioned happened long before “Hollywood’s advances in imaging technology.” “Star Wars” came out eight years AFTER Armstrong walked on the moon. CGI came out in the 1980’s. The achievements are real. I was there.
@@jstasiak2262 I, uh, I don't think that guy and the first commenter are serious people.
RWs love their conspiracy theories. I sometimes wonder why they cheer for China, given they're war hawks who'd love nothing more than to reduce every other place into a wasteland that doesn't lick the military industrial complex's boots. That is a mystery to me.
The US is fully aware of China's super rapid progress in every field and is trying to suppress it with whatever means!
But the US know that they cannot win against China.😅
Just look at Singapore for an isolated sampling of ethnic Chinese and what they can achieve. Yet Singapore is only 75% ethnic Chinese mostly descendants of underclass emigrants from the mainland. The most capable ones in countless numbers remain in China. But given the opportunities to plug into the international space, even the slightly inferior ones numbering roughly only 3 million in Singapore has much to show to the world.
'Underclass' and 'inferior', really? It is strange how the 'superior upper class' keep forgetting that no matter what brilliant, inventive, and innovative ideas a person may have, he or she is a 'nobody' unless and until they hire their fellow Human Beings to come turn their brilliant idea into a reality, to serve humanity, and that their wealth and importance depends entirely on their fellow Human Beings liking and acquiring the end result of their brilliant idea!.
Don't create division among the Chinese ...we Chinese abhor this type of behaviour.
Thank you Kevin, this is an awesome piece, super insightful. Really appreciate your effort! 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Canada is trying to build one SMR that might be operational in 10 years if everything goes well. In that time frame, China is likely to have more than 100 in operation and a manufacturing facility to build the next generation with robots.
I wonder which country is better suited for progress ?
Yes, it's called a planned economy.
Thats what happen to a country who has alot of bright minded people and doesnt wasted their money on weapons and wars.
The west started to innovates and gone off in industrialisation and in scientific progress at 17th century when start to colonising others resource rich lands.
Imagine if instead of spending $2 trillion dollars a year on weapons, forever wars, and needless warmongering to keep the American empire going the US government spends most of it to help the American people. Our country would be the envy of the world like it used to be instead of falling apart like it is now. I keep wondering when someone will save the American people from the US government.
When the West is tangled up with all sorts of political struggles, China is quietly undergoing development in all front. When the West realise that they are now lagging behind China, all they can do is crying “China threat” or "China steals technology"😅
Yes. We have been fighting against each others on abortion for 50 years because it is far easier to debate politically.
And the latest war cry… “Chinese over-capacity…”. Seriously, where do they find these government marketing types?
And the ability to get ALL western governments and main stream media to sing the same tune is very impressive indeed. Takes immense imagination and coordination.
Now imagine if the west were to use the same energy into improving their country and competitiveness instead of suppressing the growth of China. That’s a win-win! 😅😅😅😅
Two popular Chinese phrases will accurately describe China's present situation.

China is ahead in technology and manufacture of solar panels. Where you have desert you got free energy and China has a lot of desert. They may mot even need nuclear power.
Solar panels have transformed many desert into grassland, as panels reduce evaporation and water used for panel wash help sustain a new ecology.
Some solar farms have to ask local farmers to graze on solar farm in order to control grass.
What a pleasant surprise!
I know but they gotta work on that sand too, image the sales funnel on a Terra forming mushrooms/ microorganisms for Saudis 😊 😮😮😮
@@prajnasamadhi60 agreed. We may find nuclear, wind and fossil fuels obsolete as solar panel efficiencies are expected to double and prices to fall. We also know the earth ain't cooling down.
I would be very careful with reports from US media on how far China is ahead in a particular field. More often than not, such reports are sponsored by relevant vendors (military industry complex, space exploration, nuclear energy, etc) to put fear in the US government that the US is behind in a particular field and money needs to be provided by congress to build up such a field. Those trigger happy congressmen and women will be more than happy to raise a spending bill to address the perceived shortcoming. That's why it is critical for BRICS+ to significantly reduce their holdings of US debt so that money is not easily made available to the US government to spend like drunken sailors. This will force the US government to print more money which will have negative consequences on the US currency and their economy.

Not in this case. China's achievement in nuclear tech is well-known in industry. Years ago I learned that Chinses were using active learning to model their reaction modules. It's a very bold move. Funny thing is that even the scientists from America speak with strong Chinese accent.
Why can't the USA use China's playbook? If it did, it would be able to compete with China more effectively.
Instead, the USA focuses on militarism and heavy military spending.
Just a casual observation -- but there's a lot of Asian (Japanese, Korean, Chinese) anime that has the theme of going from weakest to strongest by dedication and hard-work. From anime_planet "Characters in these anime are weak, but through determination, hard work, and rigorous training, they become strong and masters of their field, whether it's martial arts, a job class in a game, or a hobby such as sports. These protagonists might even become powerful enough to be Overpowered Main Characters." also known as the "Rocky Training Montage"
There used to be a lot of anime like that, yes. Used to be. These days the main character gets hit by a truck and wakes up in another world with superpowers.
@@TheGreatAmphibian
Isekai are getting boring too, now anime is mostly about life. But there's still stuff in every category. It's an entire genre, it's not monolithic.
Just dropping a quick note to say, thank you for all your excellent reports, love your post!
Tq for your videos, very informative.
Kevin, thank you as always for an excellent podcast. China's reactor development has certainly been spurred by the threat of energy embargo by the "Collective West", and they have been beneficiaries of Russian technology input too. The reason for the "low citation index" and "impact" of Russian papers is that they are published in Russian text journals, so the entitled Westerners cannot be bothered to translate them. Russia too is well advanced in reactor design and production, with the joint project at Dubna providing clear evidence of this. I suspect the Chinese FBRs are as much about providing weapons-grade Plutonium as providing energy to the grid - China too has eyes on upscaling their nuclear deterrent, and Plutonium is an essential component.
The way China moved ahead is that it invested while in the West the technology was stymied by irrational fearmongering. That will probably be the case with AI too as in America vested interests will fight technology adoption every step of the way.
An example is so-called 5G telecommunications of which a large part of the technology was developed in China.
Great analysis
It's not just China that is ahead of us on Gen 4 nukes. India and Russia are both way out ahead as well. Russia is well underway building a 300 MWe fast breeder, and India has started loading fuel into their 500 MWe PFBR in Kalpakkam. We in the US won't have a fast breeder reactor operational until the 2030's at the earliest. The irony is we built several fast breeders in the early days (50's-80's), but politics and complacency destroyed all of that progress. We are a country that has decided that the primary function of government is to clean up the messes of irresponsible businesses and keep their owners wealthy regardless of how the business performs. We then unironically call the resulting clown show "capitalism". The BRIC nations, and China in particular, have economies that are much closer to real capitalism these days.
Russia?😅 Lol,it's going nowhere fast but slowly into oblivion under mad Vlad as the Russian economy is functioning under war mode at the moment and all those "growth" are defence and military spending and with tough sanctions still in place for the foreseeable future and with its youngest and brightest either having fled the country already or being killed or maimed in Ukraine in their hundreds of thousands,the outlook is an extremely bleak one for Russia.

This is one of the key differences between China and the West( mainly US ), Capitalism is the sole driving force of it's society. For China( the modern day China ), the driving force is humanity and that is led by the Government. Whereas the driving force in the West is Capitalism, which is led by Privatization and profit. Capitalism is what drives the government, a form of Socialism called Fascism. Where Corporations drives Policies and Government enforce those said Policies for the Corporations. Profit is the priority, humanity is not part of the equation. This difference will be the sole reason China will be the first to solve the issue of Fusion technology. Humanity needs goals that are a betterment to humanity and increase their survival. Not a dog eat dog world to accumulate finite resources.
@@canismajoris3910 "Capitalism is what drives the government, a form of Socialism called Fascism."
I was with you until that part. Capitalism is private ownership of means of production. Socialism, workers own the means of production.
Fascism is a whole different animal that has nothing to do with the two but capitalism can and always work with fascism.
Look up the history of companies like Bayer, or clothing designers like Hugo Boss and car makers like Benz and Ford.
I could explain why but that's too much typing but has something to do with fascism's centralized authority, which gives capitalists the monopoly they so much love.
Thank you Kevin to share the information you have to us
A country is more innovative because it is more prosperous, not the other way around. At any given period, the most innovative country in the World is invariably the most prosperous country in that period. Thus, England was the most innovative country in the 18th and 19th centuries because it was the most prosperous country at that time. During the second half of the 20th century, USA was the most innovative country because it was the most prosperous country during that period.
40 years ago, China was not an innovative country because it was very poor. Now, China is currently the most innovative country in the World because it is currently the most prosperous country. It is true that in nominal terms, USA has a higher GDP than China, but the GDP of USA is a bubble filled with debts and grossly inflated stocks. Measured in purchasing parity terms, the GDP of China is greater than that of USA.
