the Chinese group seeks to render the debate largely moot with a new and better Gaussian BosonSampling experiment, with 144 modes and up to 113 detected photons. They say they were able to measure k-photon correlations for k up to about 19, which if true would constitute a serious obstacle to the classical simulation strategies that people discussed for the previous experiment.
If this experiment can be replicated, it’s a pretty good step in the right direction of actual quantum supremacy. I don’t think we’re even half way to quantum supremacy, yet.

Here’s a link to the original paper “Strong quantum computational advantage using a superconducting quantum processor” (Wu et al., 2021), according to Google Scholar cited 12 times.
Scott Aaronson went into a little more detail on his blog, which sheds a bit more light on what this update of their earlier papers means:
