It marks the first long-term, stable operation of the technology, putting China at the forefront of a global race to harness thorium – considered a safer and more abundant alternative to uranium – for nuclear power.
The experimental reactor, located in the Gobi Desert in China’s west, uses molten salt as the fuel carrier and coolant, and thorium – a radioactive element abundant in the Earth’s crust – as the fuel source. The reactor is reportedly designed to sustainably generate 2 megawatts of thermal power.
Too lazy to scroll down an inch or two to see the comments questioning the tech just because it’s China or making unrelated anti-China comments?

Anti-China comments aren’t the same thing as anti-Chinese comments.
Same thing. You westerners just don’t like acknowledging when your designated adversaries make progress because of your exceptionalism.

Immediately does what I just described
How are you this propagandized? Do you have like no thinking at all, aside from what your corporate media tells you?
