The China Card? From Reuters via N Y Times:
"China Unleashes Major Telecom Competitor

BEIJING (Reuters) - China will unveil its third major
telecommunications carrier Thursday, a move analysts say will heat up competition in the booming sector and catapult Internet speeds to levels ahead of much of the world.

China Netcom Corp (CNC) is building a 20-gigabyte Internet
backbone which will reach 15 Chinese cities by the end of next July, company chief executive Edward Tian said.

``It'll be one of the highest-speed backbones in the world,' Tian told Reuters."

Can we fit in here? Is that what was at the heart of the earlier discussions? Lotsa questions, answers remain to be see.

Note that the entrepreneur is American-educated as are potential colleagues though of Chinese extraction. They're going to run it like a Silicon Valley company!
