I do not know but my guess would be that they do not.

Would be interested to know that.

Hotels, plane tickets, visa, entry fee.. must cost players nearly £2k for one Chinese tournament.

Godot - just found this:

The loser of these held-over matches will be paid £2,000 by World Snooker as a contribution towards their travel costs. For the avoidance of doubt, this money will not count towards their world ranking.
