ZeniMax Asia will be publishing titles throughout Asian territories under the Bethesda Softworks brand.

Bethesda Softworks has a successful history as a developer and publisher of award-winning titles, most recently with The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion®, which won critical acclaim and countless Game of the Year awards.

Guess who's Zenimax and who's Bethesda :)
 
Maybe they have an MMO in the works and are opening offices in Asia so as to more easily recruit official in-game farmers.
 
Humorously, Fallout 3 is a game that won't ever be able to see play in China unless they horrifically butcher the storyline for the sheer expansion of the market. The People's Republic of China taking over their neighbors, invading US territory and participating in a nuclear exchange that ends civilization as we know it? I would love to see Fallout 3 get into China if they keep the story strong, just to see the reds in their government pop blood vessels over it.
