First off the travel to China is much harsher. You would need a bye before and after. Second the time zone does not work well at all for North American T.V.
I'm sure NFL owners would love a bigger part of that market. But it is not feasible one bit to walk from London which is supporting the games and start off in a way more challenging market.

They could realistically do a Thursday evening game. Take two teams coming off a bye week and send them over to China. A Thursday evening game would be played on Friday late morning in China which should be acceptable for the local market. That also gives the teams lots of travel time to return for next Sunday's action.
