It comes to no surprise that China is beating American and other Countries in the new technologies and much more. Cables at an American Embassy in Beijing are helping Chinese scientists in making far-out fields like nuclear fission, biometrics, and even quantum teleportation. One incident where a confidential cable was sent to Washington from China suggests that China has some big secrets up there sleeves. First off China is planning to open 70 nuclear power plants in the next decade. Also the Chinese Academy of Sciences is majorly funding its Institute of Plasma Physics so that it can keep doing research on nuclear fusion. Apparently China has been hard at work on its Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) reactor, which is designed to sustain a controlled fusion reaction that can go on indefinitely at high temperatures. The same cable says the CAS’s Institute of Intelligent Machines (IIM) in Hefei has created a biometric system that identifies individuals through their pace and gait.
