    Cannot read the full article due to paywall… but what is up with that tagline:

    China is building (fission) nuclear reactors faster than any other country

    Can its scientists solve the fusion problem?

    What does the fusion problem have to do with fission reactors? They are completely opposite things and fission reactors cannot be converted to fusion ones nor any other way I can see helps with fusion at all… Like the tag line seems to be heavily implying. I don’t see how these two things are related, and I bet the article does not explain, does it?
