Higher Education in China has been late in getting on the entrepreneurship education (EE) bandwagon.  EE can be viewed as starting in 1997 at Tsinghua University and continues today.  This change can be viewed as one response in China to dealing with the issues of high economic growth, the business cycle, displaced workers, and the increasing numbers of college graduates that cannot find meaningful employment.  As EE has developed in China, they have looked to outside models for input into their EE pursuits.  This has had mixed results and has resulted in a developing model that focuses on regional economic issues and the adaptation of EE models to those regions in China.  This is seen as a better fit in China as the country is largely organized by region.  This paper describes the evolution of EE education in China with key milestones.
