What the heck is Red-ray?

Anyone else see this article? I'm not sure if someone is trying to start a new trend or if the Chinese are actually marketing this technology as "red-ray." As far as I can tell, its nothing more than China's old HD FVD format.

Chinese research firm CCID Consulting said that the country's independently developed Red-ray high-definition DVD has made great progress in terms of resolution and capacity, and has a price advantage over Blu-ray.
However, Red-ray lacks content provider support so the biggest test will be building up an industrial supply chain, including optical head, chip, whole machine, disk and content.
Nevertheless, CCID believes that Red-ray and Blu-ray are now the two major camps in China's high-definition DVD market.
