China is right now an excellent place for entrepreneurs, especially young, local ones. What is a _real_ barrier for these students is expectation and prestige. They just finished at the most prestigious schools in China. The only thing their families will accept is a great salary from a well know company. The good news is this isn't hurting entrepreneurship in China.

Maybe another way to summarize this article is "Wharton profs' only interactions with Chinese students is at the top .0001% of the class."
