While browsing wikipedia, I noticed the following:
Does anyone know if this is simply rebroadcasts of Japanese events, or a new Chinese Spin-off? I can't find any evidence of this existing outside this wiki link, and there is no citation on it.

I'm guessing that show's fake. If there's no proof then it's not true.

Someone with the ability to translate Chinese sites might be able to find something. On a semi-related note, is anyone able to identify THIS SHOW (15 Episodes), airing on the same channel as this alleged Sasuke China

What's the name of the Chinese show that Katie McDonnell and Eric both appeared on doing challenges against another competitor like the ring toss, and some insane wall run and backflip over a highjump pole type affair ?
Maybe it's that?

Did a quick Google search on the show's Chinese name "极限勇士" and managed to find its Weibo (Chinese facebook) page. www.weibo.com/u/5592122707Seems legit. Overall course design looks very similar to that of ANW's, so I guess it's a spin-off of that rather than Sasuke. Also, they apparently had Kacy Catanzaro run their course. edit: Found some more info on the show from this site: baike.baidu.com/item/%E6%9E%81%E9%99%90%E5%8B%87%E5%A3%ABI Google translated this portion of the info from the page: "Jiangsu TV reality show large outdoor extreme sports will completely cover the week and weekend, with "non-stop" gesture staged version of the week, the weekend edition, the ultimate warrior version, version 4 version match-ups throughout the third quarter, a total of 126 . Staggering is that, the team wants to build a "moving blocks - block limit" summon warriors from around the world, not only traveled footprint of nearly 20 major cities in China, the final will be against England, Japan, Russia, the United States The international line-up, not only to build a national carnival, it is a private event." The last part is what caught my eye. "...the final will be against England, Japan, Russia, the United States..." Not sure what that's supposed to mean. I don't read Chinese so hopefully someone can do a better translation.

I don't read Chinese so hopefully someone can do a better translation. That's a huge find! Thanks for the information, this looks pretty neat. If what that says is true, they might mean the USA vs The World, in which case we'll know for sure on Friday when it tapes. I really hope that is true.

Wow this explains why I saw stuff on social media about Kacy and Brent being in China about a month or so back.

Based on the name given, this is probably what is being talked about.

I asked Inui, the main guy who does SASUKE here in Japan and he says he's never heard of this. At the very least, the crew who does SASUKE in Japan has not had anything to do with it. So maybe either ANW or TBS International did a side deal with this station in Nanjing.

That would be cool of it was a side deal, because it would mean potential competitor crossovers/USvTW appearance, but it's somewhat likely that this is totally unrelated and unlicenced

I doubt ANW helped with it, the ANW spinoffs are all built by the ATS crew and their building is very similar in each spinoff, this is just ghetto lol

But do you know what this means!? Our sport has gotten so big we have our own official unofficial chinese bootleg knockoff version! We have made it to the big leagues!

The editing is on point. Absolutely no spectators in the stands during some of the competitors' runs, then the show cuts to a clip of people cheering in the stands.

This looks more like a ANW spinoff than a Sasuke one. The show has two host commenting from an evlated platform and one side line host and the course is almost exactly like the Venice course last year. If Brent and Kacy was there it's probably a side project for NBC. Are there any more episodes?
