So it's a China decade away instead of a US decade?

This is optimistic and I hope they succeed, because every time I read an article about nuclear fusion it's always 5 to 10 years away, and I feel like I've been reading articles about nuclear fusion for the better part of 2 decades.

I guess it's easier when you let another country do all the work, and spend all the money, and then you just steal their information from them.
