Cydia works on 64bit iPhones, just none of the packages do. The main package this is dependant on is Substrate, but I'm hardly going to blame saurik for taking a christmas break.
The jailbreak works in 7.1b2 though, isn't that indicative of them not being patched?
Leaks aside geohot planned to burn these exploits on the release day of 7.1 by the looks of things (he just registered the domain for the new jailbreak the day before evasi0n7).
The whole thing is disappointing all around. It was clear just from the outset that the TiaG application was intended for piracy, there's absolutely no reason for it to be included. For the reasons stated (Cydia is not in Chinese) they could have just offered patches with new translations. If people found the relationship between TiaG and kuaiyong (another piracy store) in a matter of minutes, I'm not sure why the evad3rs didn't.
Now ultimately their jailbreak is being used for piracy by a company who paid not a dime for the exploit kit. I'd have been happier to see them take the money and donate the lump sum to EFF for similar.
Another problem for Cydia in China is it's server may blocked by the Great Firewall of China built by the gov.
In IOS6, sometime I must use vpn to make Cydia proper functioning.
Of cause, this is another story.
