The MRI company I used to work for sold a scanner to China. The installation was in Nanjing. We quickly took to calling it the city of broken things. Drove past a clock tower to and from the site. All four sides had different times and not like different time zones. One would be 9:25, another 10 to something, third one like 34 minutes after and the fourth 18 after. Hours weren't even close to each other. Power would just intermittently go off for random amounts of time at random times.

Can't wait to hear how big a melt down they have when they have a cryo failure or Xui forgets to replenish on schedule and the whole thing turns into a really big expensive puddle.

With the blessings of Chinese quantum direct-current electricity, quantum aircraft carriers and quantum enhanced railguns will be the instruments with which China affirms its noble stewardship of 21st century world politics and offers the non-western world a different option; an humanist alternative to the depredations of Western leadership and the opportunity for a more equitable and dignified multilateralism.

The size and energy of the ring is governed by a few things

1) strength of your dipole turning magnets.

2) energy of the beam

3) type of particles

You need to turn the high energy charged particle around the ring, but they will radiate Bremstrahlung which will start to cause issues with both energy loss and beam stability. As long as you don't hit the limit of that (LEP was getting close near the end) then you can keep ramping energy as long as you have to field strength in the magnets. Protons don't radiate as bad as electrons, and muons would be even better. There's more complicated issues with beam stability but that's the general principle. Maybe @LowBeta can shed more light on that since it's his area.

For reference, LHC has a design energy of 14TeV at 27km diameter and superconducting magnets at 8.3ishT

Tevatron has an energy of 1TeV at 6.28km diameter and superconducting 4.2T magnets.

The first phase is an electron positron collider so it will collide different types of particles than the LHC which I would assume will have the energy tuned to make a Higgs factory to make more precise measurements of Higgs' properties.

I believe the next phase would be an order 100TeV pp machine to overtake the LHC looking for new physics like Supersymmetry or other more crazy theories.

I wonder what the payoff of the International Space Station has been vs. what a ree-dicky-u-lous particle accelerator would have been?  Or was the project itself doomed to rapid obsolescence or inadequacy from the start (I assume there's more to collider design than just the size of the ring )?

Since the SSC was before my time I only have the old timers' stories to go on, but it appears there were bad budget overruns early in the project because, well digging a big ass tunnel isn't as easy as it sounds. There was some mismanagement as is typical in big DOE projects and at the time I don't think anyone really knew what the benefits of having a collider running in the US for the next 50 years would be. At that point I think most would have probably believed Tevatron was surely going to find the Higgs as well. I haven't had the balls to ask Roy why the project was cancelled from his perspective. I suspect there's not enough time for that story.

eta and as someone else said I don't think the ISS was the true justification, just a cop out since they probably didn't want to fund 2 science projects at once back then. I would have preferred to be eating Texas BBQ through grad school instead of Swiss/French cuisine.

The problem I foresee is not the size of the project. It's easy enough with GPS coordinates to build a ring 20 miles in diameter.

What the chinese lack, is the ability to build it to the level of precision of the LHC. They were talking about tolerances in the tenths of millimeters, and EVERYTHING had to be built to that level of exactness. It took some of the best construction companies and scientists the world had to offer (not just the EU) to bring the LHC into being, there is no way the chinese will be able to build it and operate it with any legitimate data.

They will build the ring, and it will sit there and rot like the rest of China.

Particles are just like radiation usually in exposure danger. A single particle won't do any more harm than a single gamma ray or Xray. But it's not just a single particle, it's a stream of particles. There was a story about a russian scientist that got his head into a particle beam (got turned on when he was trying to fix or adjust it??) and he had massive radiation burns and swelling in his face. He lived though... Some nasty effects on the receiving end of that beam.

They don't want to do physics.  They want to steal processes, material information, and technical knowledge from the contractors they will lure in to do the project (for big yuan) by requiring full disclosure of the technology and "staff and information exchange" with the US / Euro contractors.

This one project will take them from 60's knowledge of large capacitors, strong magnets, super conducting, etc. to 2010 knowledge of it, even if poorly implemented.

Just like they do for everything else, this is theft.

That may certainly be part of the motivation, but pretty much everything the LHC did is open knowledge since they publish all the design documents. Now we all know actually building the thing on the paper is not the same. I suspect it's more about the people brain drain so they can suck ideas out of them for the next few decades.
