That region's newly emergent middle class people and wealthy people might lack Westerners' prejudices which have made cryonics such a hard idea to sell in our parts of the world.
For one thing, they have witnessed rapid economic progress in their own societies in their own generation, so they wouldn't understand the appeal of Western pessimism about apocalyptic and dystopian futures.
They likely don't have the same prejudices as Westerners but that doesn't mean that they don't have other prejudices.
Without understanding the local culture a lot more than most of of Westerners do it's hard to make this kind of prediction.
