I think WSJ misinterpreted this. Sounds like a bit of an ownership shift, but Sinnet will still pay AWS to operate the regions.

Yes. You know media, they like big title.

Sinnet only buy the Beijing equipments to make them a national assets for the regulation compliance. AWS China to open another region very soon in Ningxia, which not included in the deal.
