AFAICT this article offers no dates, no numbers, and no primary sources. China did announce a thorium research program back in 2011, and continues to publish research, but I don't see any notable recent developments reported on other sites.

The IAEA does not currently list any reactors matching this description in operation or under construction in China:

World Nuclear News does not have any recent stories about Chinese thorium reactors.

Is this article just a rehash of old news? Or has a Chinese thorium reactor achieved criticality recently? Videos of simulations and 3D renderings are a dime a dozen. New reactor concepts are interesting only when someone operates real hardware. China can do so but there's nothing in this article that makes me think it has just done so.
