China reveals fusion tech breakthrough:
 https://www.rt.com/news/599707-china-fusion-tech-tokamak-plasma/
  A commercial ‘artificial sun’ has achieved its first plasma discharge,
  the developer says

 According to the developers, as cited by Chinese media,
 the HH70 tokamak is smaller and cheaper to assemble than its predecessors.
 The device uses a magnetic system made from high-temperature superconducting material,
 commonly known as REBCO (Rare Earth Barium Copper Oxide).

 It can reportedly be manufactured on a large scale,
 reducing the cost of Energy Singularity’s tokamaks.
 Moreover, the HH70 device, according to the company,
 is only 2% the size of conventional tokamaks  – providing a major advantage
 in the race to produce a commercially viable device.

Well that's it for ITER then!
