Comment from a friend: "I don't know why they are worried. I've been to several BD concerts and I never understood a word he said."
According to Foreign Policy, the East Asia tour may have been cancelled because of the tour promoter's exorbitant fees. It would explain why the whole tour was cancelled rather than just skipping the China concerts.
