That applies to Israel, since we have a regional, but I son't see how this applies to teams like those in China and Taiwan, that obviously can't compete in districts and would have an enormous financial difficulty in coming to Israel. The solution to this would be leaving some areas in the US with regionals, which was made pretty clear to not be part of the goal, or for them to go to Canada, if they wouldn't have districts (which is a topic that wasn't adressed in the answer).
