Abstract: Testing of breeding blanket module (TBM) is one of ITER''s important objectives. China is performing design and technology development of ITER TBMs based on the development strategy of fusion DEMO in China. Solid breeder with helium-cooled test blanket module concept for test in ITER should be the basic option in China. The progress and status of China helium-cooled solid breeder (CH HCSB) TBM since 2004 are introduced briefly. Concept designs of HCSB TBM and ancillary systems, test strategy for their tests in ITER, key R&D issues are summarized in this paper. An international collaboration in R&D, development and testing of TBMs are proposed. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
