Ah, the Thorium dream. Would be great if this will work one day. But there are still lots of unsolved problems like the reprocessing, the energy required to start the process and preventing corrosion, to mention only the biggest ones. Those problems are far from being solved. Currently this is not more than a well known nuclear dream. What the chinese are building at the moment are prototypes which do not even count as proof of concept. They are far away from building real usable reactors. And yes fuel reprocessing exists but to make the "waste" problem bearable they would need to reduce waste by far more than they do since decades. The nuclear industry has much more players than only the fuel provider. The ones which build the reactors do not care too much for the fate of Westinghouse.
