Hm, so I think the experiment this article alludes to is not exactly the same as the February one. This article seems to be based on this press release:
http://www.ipp.ac.cn/xwdt/tpxw/201611/t20161102_352924.html http://www.ipp.ac.cn/xwdt/tpxw/201611/t20161102_352924.html which (using Google Translate) says "In a new round of physical experiments launched in August 2016, the EAST team achieved steady-state, high-confinement-mode plasmas for more than 60 seconds in mid-October by further optimizing the steady-state operation integrated control at long pulse time scales".
It seems they reported their latest results at the IAEA Fusion Energy Conference (17–22 October 2016); I'm guessing that they did a press release based on that, and that's why it's getting picked up by news.
