Article appears to be written in Chinese--am I understanding from the headline that they were able to replicate the findings of the recently claimed ambient pressure, room temperature superconductor?

Running through Google translate and reading the article

An experimental team from Anhui has worked for more than ten hours and is trying to reproduce the results. They updated the latest progress tens of minutes ago. The results will come out in about three days. Perhaps soon, we will be able to witness the gold content of room temperature superconductivity.

It seems they are in the middle of replicating the results. Not that they have already completed replicated the results.

The actual article title is:

The first room-temperature and atmospheric-pressure superconductor has sparked global enthusiasm, and tens of thousands of people are watching the progress of the Chinese team's reappearance

when I translated it.

From the Google translation it appears they were successful in the replication, with expected measurements, however did not observe Superconductivity as of yet. I reckon if it is completely successful the government will clamp down any further information.
