So is this part of the previously announced "cooperation" between Meng and AK Interactive? Don't see any reference to AK on the bottle at all. Starting to wonder if the "cooperation" was we will rename AK to Meng?????

Darren, not quite as different as chalk and cheese, after all both paints can be mixed with water and stuff like Windolene, as alcohol is water soluble, unlike enamels or oils which don't mix with any of those.
This product is no doubt exactly the same as the AK acrylic thinner that they already sell under their own brand, it's just been Meng-ised... The AK site describes their thinner like this:
Water based thinner especially designed for use with AK-Interactive acrylics. Our non-toxic, low odor thinner is also compatible for use with other brands such as Vallejo, Tamiya or Lifecolor paints.
Not just the typical alcohol and water based thinner, our specially formulated product is ideal for creating the perfect paint consistency for brush and airbrush
Wait - maybe it is water.... More likely water and alcohol and a touch of some detergent type stuff -?

I usually like using the same cleaner/thinner as the paint brand, and I have yet to see any paint from Meng yet......

Is just AK thinner with Meng label but i think can be good for Asia-Pacific market were AK paits have less dealer,like this AK can reach easily this part of the world exploiting Meng dealer...a good partnership!

In Mexico i've developed a real universal Thinner. It is ecologic and safe for health. It dilute with no problem Tamiya, Gunze, Vallejo, Lifecolor, AK, Mig, Citadel, Liquitex, American Paints for ceramic, in fact any paint that contains some acrilics for use in brush or airbrush.

Nop. Wather is great but not disolve the acrilic base,only make it thin. "No More Clogs" disolve part of the base, lub the airbrush and give a new base for the pigment. With this product you can airbrushing paints that are lost because they are not so wet lile the remains in Tamiya bottles or old range citadels that get old in your paint box. If they are some wet iit can be reused. You can search it in Facebook.
