Quick correction, this thorium reactor, which is based off of a recently developed Chinese design, is a Molten Salt Reactor (MSR), not a light water reactor.
Their moderator and coolant is molten salt, which expands and contracts due to heat from fission chain reactions.
I really think a USSR situation is going to happen here in the US and west as a whole.
As China continues to out perform the capitlist world and the global south shifts their relations, the west will be isolated and new generations of its population will eventually long for the progress of the socialist world.
That is if you don’t end the world in a fire ball first.
I think it’s gonna be more of a 1930s-40s Germany direction. They will see things from China and just call it propaganda or scream it’s only because they use slave labor and/or have no rights or something.

Thank you for the correction!
I mixed up the MSR design with the other contemporary Chinese breeder design that uses light water.
I love infinite energy
When China has so many breakthrough forms of power generation you get confused on which marvel of engineering you are talking about.

They already do that.
Exactly my point. lol.
The west is going to collapse soon, because increasing fascism will cause them to attack PRC & Russia at the same time and then eat dirt.
“You hear about the computer in China’s R&D?”
“The bismuth, the carbon nanotube ternary, or the fucking analog?”
“or the one modeled after a human brain that’s like 1000 times faster and uses 10 times less energy?”
