The energy demand and the shortage of conventional primary energy production in next century in China are stated, maximum possibilities of nuclear electric production were computed with 19 nuclear energy systems according to available uranium resources in China. Symbiotic systems with fusion breeder are promising. The important role of fusion breeder in the deveelopment of nuclear energy in China and the two steps fusion strategy from fusion breeder to pure fusion are discussed.
