Yes - it is almost as if the 1x part is less important for China than the whole push for R-UIM cards which was part of the minimum requirements. (But I thought this was important for Korea too and apparently it isn't). In many presentations Q has talked about a high tier and low tier set of chips. One for China and India and maybe WLL in Brazil and others for other markets, or even both for some markets. This is the MSM 3100 vs MSM 3300 split.
