Your Nuclear Reactor may soon be "Made in China"

In 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲, China is becoming one of the world’s most important 𝗻𝘂𝗰𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗴𝘆 𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝘀. China is building more 𝗻𝘂𝗰𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀 than any other country, Chinese SOEs like 𝗖𝗡𝗡𝗖 and 𝗖𝗚𝗡 are turning nuclear energy into a state-backed industrial platform, and Beijing is supercharging its nuclear power manufacturing capabilities - both in scale as well as with new innovation. But why? For Beijing, nuclear energy is 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝗮 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗱𝗲𝗯𝗮𝘁𝗲 about green electricity. Coal is king when it comes to energy, not nuclear. Yet, Beijing likes 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗸 different energy-generating technologies on top of each other 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 A (e.g., nuclear) with B (e.g renewables) as other countries do. It is about industrial strength and national energy sovereignty and will continue the success stories of China's industrial growth in everything from 𝗔𝗜 𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗰𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 to its manufacturing base. From 𝗛𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗢𝗻𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀 to 𝗦𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗹𝗮𝗿 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀, thorium experiments, uranium supply chains and AI power demand, China’s nuclear strategy reflects a broader belief that energy systems 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲, 𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹. Now, Beijing is getting ready to sell its Nuclear Reactors to other countries. Watch this in the next 5 years. ⏱️ 𝗧𝗶𝗺𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗺𝗽𝘀 00:00 𝗘𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗴𝘆 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀, manufacturing relocation & China’s industrial advantage 03:24 China’s nuclear history: Foreign technology transfer, 𝗤𝗶𝗻𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗻, 𝗗𝗮𝘆𝗮 𝗕𝗮𝘆 & China’s learning strategy 05:28 China’s energy demand, 𝗰𝗼𝗮𝗹 𝗱𝗲𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆 & the rise of nuclear power 07:32Fukushima, safety reviews & China’s nuclear acceleration 09:00 𝗖𝗡𝗡𝗖, 𝗖𝗚𝗡, 𝗦𝗣𝗜𝗖 & China’s nuclear SOEs 10:16 𝗛𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗢𝗻𝗲, localization & China’s nuclear technology independence 11:38 𝗦𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗹𝗮𝗿 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀, thorium reactors & nuclear innovation 12:06 𝗔𝗜 𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗰𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀, 𝗨𝗛𝗩 𝗴𝗿𝗶𝗱𝘀 & China’s 𝗘𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗪𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 Project 13:22 Nuclear safety, 𝗽𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗰 𝗼𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗼𝗻 & 𝗖𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗮’𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗸 15:47 What happens next - 𝗖𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗮'𝘀 𝗡𝘂𝗰𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀 𝗴𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗴𝗹𝗼𝗯𝗮𝗹 📌 𝗧𝗼𝗽𝗶𝗰𝘀 𝗖𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱 • China’s Energy Security, Manufacturing Costs & Industrial Policy • 𝗖𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗮 𝗡𝘂𝗰𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗣𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿, 𝗖𝗡𝗡𝗖, 𝗖𝗚𝗡, 𝗦𝗣𝗜𝗖 & State-Owned Enterprises • 𝗛𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗢𝗻𝗲, 𝗦𝗠𝗥𝘀, Thorium Reactors & China’s Nuclear Technology Push • AI Data Centers, UHV Transmission, Uranium Supply Chains & China’s Future Energy System 👉 Subscribe for insights on China, business, technology, geopolitics and the global economy: ‪‪‪@MiriamWickertsheim‬ 📩 Does your firm have executive recruitment needs in China or Asia?
