Western governments and investors have spent much of the last week fretting about scientific breakthroughs from China.
Almost overnight, the artificial intelligence company DeepSeek rose from apparent obscurity to challenge America’s unassailable lead in AI, sending markets into a tailspin and sparking national security and data reviews among concerned officials.
Less widely noticed was the emergence of a grainy series of satellite images taken over the central Chinese city of Mianyang. The photos show a large X-shaped building, with four wings protruding from a central hub.
According to researchers at the national security think tank CNA, the images appear to show a giant laser nuclear fusion research centre. In such a facility, high-powered emitters in the four protruding structures fire lasers directly at a central chamber to heat fuel pellets to 100m degrees celsius, creating a reaction similar to the one that powers the sun.

‘Artificial sun’
A sign of how serious Beijing is taking this new energy arms race emerged last week when the Chinese Academy of Sciences announced that the country’s scientists had run an “artificial sun” – a fusion drive aimed at replicating the star’s reactions - for 1,066 seconds, more than double the previous record.China’s ‘artificial sun’ fuels Western fears it has lost race to energy holy grail
Stunted global progression has enabled Beijing to become a major player in the energy arms race
