No, I doesn't mean to say it as a negative thing. Fusion research funding is very low compared to what is needed to build big enough devices. Because when it comes to fusion, size matters, as efficiency goes up with size.
And that's what I meant by brute force. China can simply build a bigger one and reap the benefits of size.

Yes, and more data is always better in plasma science.
It operates somewhere around 100-200M Kelvin. https://www.scienceinschool.org/2013/issue26/fusion
