Until they've made a billion dollars I'd assume the situation is not that rosy. It is easy enough to do a cool science experiment for $65 million. That being said, I applaud anyone achieving any result when it comes to energy.
My first test for Chinese success is "would this have been legal in the US?". I'm not sure who regulates tokamaks but I assume they have a similar risk profile to nuclear reactors (nuclear process releases a vast amount of energy in a tiny space) and so it would be normal if building one commercially was prohibited.
