Not sure if that's all China is doing, they recently announced they want the first thorium reactor online within 10 years instead of 25. If it wasn't for Nixon cutting funding for thorium in the 60s in favour of plutonium for research into nuclear bombs, most American reactors these days could very well have been using thorium.

My guess is if China get's their first thorium reactor online, fully functioning, they are going to multiply them balls to the walls much like they did their coal plants.
