On Thursday 5 September, Director-General Barabaschi met with the Chinese Minister of Science and Technology YIN Hejun at the Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST) in Beijing. In addition to updates on the ITER Project and proposed Baseline, they evoked the importance of ITER to the goal of developing nuclear fusion, the long-term collaboration with China within the framework of ITER, and the ways bilateral scientific and technological exchanges might be deepened.

Director-General Barabaschi's trip also took him to the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) where, accompanied by ITER Deputy Director-General (Corporate) LUO Delong, he met with Vice President CHANG Jin and staff members. The Chinese Academy of Sciences has been highly implicated in research, development and procurement for ITER. Its Institute of Plasma Physics is home to the EAST tokamak; it is also building the Comprehensive Research Facility for Fusion Technology (CRAFT) a platform for developing and testing fusion reactor key components. Discussions centred on current and future collaboration in the fields of cutting-edge physics and new technology, and on the development of fusion talent.
