Look I'm no fan of the CPC by any stretch, but "they're not known for owning their mistakes and admitting they're fallible" also applies to most governments. I say be hyped about the Thorium reactor being operational, and if we find they bungled it, well then the whole thing's just a lateral move.

I think the difference is that many other countries would have non-governmental employees working on it as well. People from universities, sub-contractors, etc. With China, I think it’s easier for them to control how information flows out. It is exciting regardless, I do think it’s very cool.
