Yes, this guy is an italian citizen and he live and does business in China
Actually more than Kickstarter rules, the matter it is you should have an Amazon US account, since Amazon handles the payments.
So any foreigner who owns an US company able to pass compliance of Amazon, may use Kickstarter; my friend said he got lots docs to submit, and it may have helped that he own or rented an home in USA so he could sent some US bills with his name or something like it.
I asked him if he think Chinese people could bypass him and go directly in Kickstarter, he said in theory is possible, just most of them lack English language, US connections and they present themselves in a so foreigner way that no one can mistak them as an USA person or company.
In other words, any foreigner guy or company who is american look alike and got US company and maybe an US bill for flat they rented there, somewhat can use kickstarter.
