Battle.net To China - Diablo 3 Release 2012?

It seems to have been the day for announcements yesterday, as both the AMD/Blizzard "Alliance" and the Blizzard/NetEase licensing deal was announced.

This is another confirmation that Battle.net 2.0 will be released with StarCraft II, and it's possible that older games such as Diablo II will lack compatibility.

China only gets StarCraft II, Warcraft III and the WarCraft expansion for the next three years after StarCraft II is released, with a mutual renewal period. The question is but does this mean Diablo III won't get released before 2012, or will they re-negotiate mid-way, as it's not yet on the agenda?
