The US will […]
Six reactors approved for launch in three cities to support clean energy transition With the future power supply growth coming mostly from nonfossil energy in China as the country is going through a green energy transition, nuclear power will be crucial for China to reach its carbon peak goal by 2030, said analysts. After years of preparations, comprehensive assessment and review, approval has been granted for projects of new nuclear […]
Hanoi’s new metro system opened to the public in January this year (2022). This is Vietnam’s first urban light rail, and was built by a Chinese company under contract.
