The China Fusion Engineering Demo Reactor (CFEDR) is a planned tokamak facility designed to bridge the gap between experimental fusion research and commercial power plants. It is an evolution of the CFETR concept; this device aims to generate 1.5 to 3 gigawatts of fusion power while demonstrating the ability to breed its own tritium fuel for sustained operations.

"Crimson Skyblade" also referred to as Chi Xiao, is a superconducting linear plasma generator that will be used to study suitable wall materials for fusion reactors.
The current device is 15.5 meters long and weighs 22.5 tonnes.
