It marks the first long-term, stable operation of the technology, putting China at the forefront of a global race to harness thorium – considered a safer and more abundant alternative to uranium – for nuclear power.

The experimental reactor, located in the Gobi Desert in China’s west, uses molten salt as the fuel carrier and coolant, and thorium – a radioactive element abundant in the Earth’s crust – as the fuel source. The reactor is reportedly designed to sustainably generate 2 megawatts of thermal power.

Fake ass western propaganda "genocide" my ass

You're uncritically guzzling the CIA line

All of the supposed "evidence" comes from Adrian Zenz, who is a religious zealot who thinks it is his "god-given mission to destroy China."

Tell it to the American Blacks in prison. Glass houses. We're all bad.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 days ago (1 children)

They're not being subjected to a genocide.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

There are 2x as many Blacks in prison in the US as Uyghurs in China. But we don't call it genocide just like we call our rich Billionaires instead of oligarchs. At least for now we can make fun of Trump without being arrested. But I don't know how much longer that will last.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

We don't call it genocide because words mean things and that does not constitute genocide, whereas China's attempts to wipe out the Uighurs do.

"Genocidal attempts to wipe out" one of the few ethnic groups that had a full exemption from the one-child policy lolol
