Not quite, terminology-wise.

"Blind Landing" is the generic term for "ILS" - all of cat1/2/3. Not quite "blind, as in Cat III....", is my point.

The article however does claims that CAAC is mandating pilots flying from the top-10 airports by pax to Beijing to be at least ILS Cat2 rated. Devil's in the details and perhaps all flight plans originating from these airports would have to be ILS Cat2-able, to be accepted.
