The Devil is /always/ in the details:

The offer, however, is limited to a bulk purchase through governments and
includes a whole set of conditions governments will have to meet. According
to the ordering criteria, governments will have to subsidize the purchase
prize of a PC by a margin of greater than 50%, at least 10,000 PCs have to
be ordered at once and delivered in a single language in a single year, and
the software must be activated using Microsoft’s general software activation
process.

Everyone in China steals software anyway, so they save the three bucks and
no strings.
