China is pouring huge resources into LFTR (thorium fuel cycle) research, yet we are still debating whether it is feasible: economically feasible. If it is, then we are losing precious years versus our main competitor.

Not at all. Typically it is loaded with some amount of Fissile uranium...it still a relatively consistent reactor with current designs. For lack of a better term, it is a type of breeder reactor.
