In 2011 China started their research into TMSR's after reviewing ORNL's reactor in the '60s. They poured billions into R&D with hundreds of engineers/scientists and it now bears fruit. This is reminiscent of Apple/Steve Jobs and XeroxParc. One side's leaders with some tech knowledge had foresight. The other side had leaders who were complacent, tech ignorant, and only concerned with retaining power.
