AB  - Due to its clean products and sufficient raw materials, fusion energy is expected 
      to become one of the main solutions of the energy crisis and ensuring the 
      sustainable development of human society, which is a long-term strategic frontier 
      field. The promise of fusion energy is to constrain the motion of 
      high-temperature plasma by the high magnetic field generated by superconducting 
      magnets, and then achieve controllable thermonuclear fusion. Fusion power is 
      proportional to the fourth power of the magnetic field strength. Thus, future 
      commercial fusion reactors need a higher magnetic field as the basis for 
      sustainable development [1]. In order to verify the scientific and technological 
      feasibility of fusion energy, China, the United States, the European Union, 
      Russia et al. have jointly participated in the construction of the International 
      Thermonuclear Fusion Test Reactor (ITER), which is expected to produce the first 
      plasma discharge by 2025 [2]. Currently, China is leading the world in many 
      fields of fusion energy research. For example, the experimental advanced 
      superconducting Tokamak (EAST) whole-superconducting Tokamak located at the 
      Institute of Plasma Physics in the Chinese Academy of Sciences has achieved a 
      repeatable world record of stable plasma operation at 120 million degrees Celsius 
      for 101 seconds, which provides a solid foundation for ITER and also China's 
      future Independent Building Fusion Reactor 
      (https://www.cas.cn/syky/202105/t20210528_4790357.shtml). Prof. Jiangang Li, an 
      academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, participated in and completed 
      the design and construction of EAST plasma facing componments (PFCs) engineering 
      by the support of the national '9th five-year plan' major scientific and 
      technological infrastructure, and presided over the completion of the national 
      '11th five-year plan' major scientific and technological infrastructure-EAST 
      auxiliary heating system project. He also hosted the national '13th five-year 
      plan' major scientific and technological infrastructure-Integrated Research 
      Facility for Critical Systems of fusion reactor comprehensive research facility 
      for fusion technology (CRAFT). Many important scientific and technological 
      problems have been solved and overcome by Prof. Li and his co-workers, which puts 
      China's plasma physics research and fusion engineering technology at the 
      forefront of global engineering.
