- The impetus for nuclear power in China is increasingly due to air pollution from coal-fired plants.

- Relative to the rest of the world, a major strength is the nuclear supply chain.
- China’s policy is to ‘go global’ with exporting nuclear technology including heavy components in the supply chain.
