We'll have to wait for more details to come out, but at the moment it appears as 
if China may have just contracted with SCC for available services:

Hosting
Strategically-located geographic placement
One alternative solution to procuring SSC  ground segment services is to host 
mission-specific antennas and other  equipment at SSC locations. 

Several clients have entrusted SSC to operate their antennas and other assets 
hosted at one of our SSC sites around the world.
We manage the operations and maintenance of all client-owned systems,  but also 
welcome customers who wish to provide their own staff at the  hosting site. We 
have more than 30 years of experience in hosting  services that began in 1979 at 
Esrange Space Center in northern Sweden.
Our operational support and helpdesk service is provided 24 hours per day, 365 
days per year.
The customer operates or if preferred SSC operates the hosted systems  from 
their premises and SSC can grant long term permission for the area  used.
SSC offers the following services and advantages:
	* Strategically-located geographic placement offering polar and low-inclination 
orbit service advantages
	* Effective operational support based on SSC’s extensive operations and 
maintenance experience
	* Well-established communication infrastructure with easy accessibility.
	* Possibility for backup support from existing SSC antenna systems.
	* High functional and high physical security level.
	* High security in access and information handling
	* Highly reliable infrastructure service with electrical power, UPS and backup 
generators.
	* Services with radio frequency management arising from operation and all 
required approvals and
