i think they will be able to do this scenario ONLY if they licence the platform to the chinese and let them do whatever with it.
isn't that exactly what MA have done, license the EU engine and let them build their own planets for what ever uses they want. MA have absolutely no say in how those planets are run or if there will ever be travel between them as it's been stated before the decision is down to the partners involved only.

Personally I don't expect to see a link between the EU and the Chinese server farms. Apart from the fact that if the estimated number of Chinese players does turn out to be true at 7 million concurrent if it is only 10% of that they will completely dwarf the current active EU player base, so guess where all the loot would go if they all went hunting. I also don't expect to see China basing their ingame currency on one they have no control over.

As for my machines capability of running the new Crytrek enhanced version of EU should be no problem at all. My pc can handle even unoptimised maps on C***s and stil get 40-50fps unless its extremely badly done. Even if it can't handle it, i'll just upgrade the gfx card and get a quad core processor.
