They won't be able to do this in India or China.

(Agreed.)

So in terms of large-ish economies/populations, maybe they have a chance in parts of Africa (I know some people working at chinese-owned companies hard at work on this market) and maybe parts of South America and SEA?

Maybe the will make it work in countries that are either corrupt or incompetently managed. I don't see why a reasonably competent or reasonably non-corrupt government would allow this.

China is no longer a developing country.

They will probably be able to pull something like this off in a country with poor banking.

It is DOA if it has no adoption in US, Europe, India and China.
