Can Thunderbolt 3 connect to C?

Thunderbolt 3 has adopted the USB-C format, so all Thunderbolt 3 ports are able to use ordinary USB-C cables. Thunderbolt 3 has higher performance requirements than USB-C, so not all USB-C cables are of sufficiently high quality to work at Thunderbolt speeds.

Can I plug a Thunderbolt device into a USB-C port?
