Because Xinghuo is a fusion-fission plant, it will make use of both technologies in its production of energy.
Xinghuo is not the only fusion project in China.
There have been fusion breakthroughs stateside, too.

Nevertheless, the accomplishment was a major step forward in fusion science and the scientistsrepeated the trickthe following year.
Importantly, the latter experiments are purely fusion reactors, whereas Xinghuo will be a fusion-fission plant.
The landmark also more than tripled JETs peak fusion power record of 22 megajoules.
But the project in China, stateside, and elsewhere is laying the groundwork for the worlds energy future.
