The last edition China Masters for SS level, next year China Masters will be back with new status GP Gold (scheduled 15-20 April 2014) : http://www.bwfbadminton.org/tournamentcalendar_event.aspx?id=19437
They moved it to April. That's a good decision. 5 to 6 months of rest between two major China's tournament is a good thing.
If you want to talk about LD, there is nothing more to talk about. LD will be no 1 in any team and he will win every major event if he want to. He and LCW are at least one level about the rest of the MS. Base on the assumption that he will retire from competing regularly, therefore I don't think we should drag him into future discussion. At this very moment, LD will beat all MS players in this planet if he wants to.
If the top Chinese players continue to participate it will be the best GP level tournament available. Hopefully players from other nations will still participate, and not act like "it's not worth it to try to beat the Chinese on home court if you "only" get GP Gold points". Otherwise it may become the by far hardest up-and coming player testing ground or something.
