We are running UCM 6.1 and 2 sites are in the States, NY and CA. NY has the publisher and CA has the subscriber. We are planning to build a new site in China with about 60 users. Their will only be a DS3 between CA and China via MPLS cloud. The requirements in China is able to dial out locally and able to dial to the CA and NY office with internal dialing. We are planning to delpoy CME and CUE on 3945 router in China. Should we deploy a whole new publisher to get the same user experience in China as the users in NY and CA? Thanks.

This question leaves at least an hour's worth of discussion points on the table to fully vet this decision out. A few considerations off the top of my head:
Most user-facing call agent functionality from CUCM exists in CCME. My default is to choose CUCM; however, CCME is typically a very capable PBX so I'm purposely trying not to discredit it here.

Ok, based on that my recommendation would be a BE-6000 which will come with some basic UCL-based licenses of UCM and Unity Connection. You can upgrade it to UWL or add other applications such as CUBAC if desired since it will be on a VMware ESXi-based UCS C200M2 server.
The CTS codec cannot register to CME. Additionally, cross-cluster extension mobility can only occur between CUCM clusters. If you are using Local Route Groups you'll want to run 8.5 because starting in that version cross-cluster extension mobility will use the LRG for more efficient call routing.
