Wonder how much of it is covering costs to attend tournaments in China?

Probaby a good portion I reckon. Expect us to play quite a few more tournaments in China over the next 4 years. At least it means we may get good competition as China's $ and growth market may also attract the US and top Euro teams in the lead up to the 2012 Olympics.
