I wondered about that as well- I could have sworn that they originally said they planned to do Fuji and Shanghai. Seems weird that the Chinese team would do the Japanese race, but not their 'home' one. Maybe a question of $$$?
Is it a case of they only had the budget for the Asian LMS races post-Le Mans? They had a couple of Japanese drivers in the car at Fuji, so maybe that was underwritten by Japanese sponsors, and they've not been able to cut a deal with anyone for Shanghai? Still seems strange though...
