China has achieved a major milestone in its pursuit of commercial nuclear fusion as two domestically developed superconducting magnets successfully passed full-load testing. These critical components belong to the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak, popularly known as the "artificial sun."

With the successful completion of these tests, project officials confirmed that 100% of the core technologies have now been localized. The experimental fusion device is scheduled for completion by the end of 2027, with the ultimate goal of producing China's first fusion-generated electricity around 2030.
