I think "generation" refers to the fabrication process.
Current generation is 22nm.
3 generations behind would be 65nm (i.e. 22nm, 32nm, 45nm, 65nm)
I think China is on 65nm with its Loongson.
FYI, 65nm was achieved in 2006, so China is not decades behind.
Exactly. And this machine was built in 2010. We don't know what's going on in NUDT the past year.

Generations are not divided by manufacturing processes. They are categorized my microarchitecture designs emcompassing caching, software and much more.
Longson is made in France with American itchers.
China is a developing country, and therefore should not even try to compare itself to the US or Japan.
China is a large country.
Hong Kong and Macau is richer than Canada, Beijing and Shanghai have the GDP per capita about Korea's level while the poorest province is only a little bit ahead of India.

But the lab that has the nation wide support surely has the resource to get things done.
