On September 19, the latest episode of CCTV News Channel's “New Quality Productivity in China: Future Laboratory” series aired. Titled “A Hundred Flowers in Full Bloom: Commercial Fusion Energy Industry Shows Promising Future,” this installment focused on China's commercial fusion energy development. The program visited the HHMAX-ENERGY R&D base to explore the application and development progress of FRC Controlled Nuclear Fusion Technology, featuring an exclusive interview with the company's founder and chairman, Xiang Jiang. This marks the first time CCTV has spotlighted FRC technology and its commercial applications.

   The news report highlights that as a major energy consumer, China urgently requires low-cost clean energy. Once controllable nuclear fusion achieves commercialization, it may usher in a new wave of technological revolution for humanity, akin to the advent of the steam engine and electrification. During this interview, the reporter visited HHMAX-ENERGY's R&D base to gain firsthand insight into the technical principles and development progress of the company's Linear Field Reversal Configuration (FRC) fusion device, with a particular focus on HHMAX-ENERGY's innovative model for achieving fusion power generation through low-cost, efficient iteration.

   Xiang Jiang stated in the interview that commercial space ventures were initially dominated by state-owned enterprises and research institutes, with few anticipating private sector involvement. Today, private companies not only participate but also drive cost reductions and efficiency gains—a dynamic mirroring the nuclear fusion industry we are exploring.


   In recent years, driven by surging energy demand and the urgency of low-carbon transition, global research and development in controlled nuclear fusion has entered a phase of rapid advancement. In China, this field is witnessing a flourishing landscape of innovation: on one hand, state-led research institutions continue to deepen their work on large-scale scientific facilities like tokamaks, serving national energy strategies; on the other, private enterprises, as explorers of diverse technological pathways, are more keenly attuned to commercialization opportunities. For instance, HHMAX-ENERGY has chosen the Linear Field Reversing Configuration (FRC) technology route, aiming to achieve fusion power generation through compact devices and low costs, thereby accelerating the commercial application of fusion energy. This special report by CCTV not only reflects the national emphasis on diverse technical approaches in the fusion field but also highlights the vibrant momentum of China's commercial fusion enterprises and the FRC technology route.
