Actually I know several Chinese tycoons who are reluctant to hire from universities as expectations are high, flexibility and endurance levels low and loyalty to the employer very questionable.
These two points are so true, i am seeing it more & more in the provinces outside of BJ & SH. & the china 'country' type tycoons also have a bias toward the BJ/SH mba whiz kids... (they want locals)

Now, factor in the unprecedented urbanisation; (per the Economist)
-By 2025 around 1b living in the cities
-By 2025 15 cities with 25m+ population
-By 2025 200+ cities with 1m+ population
-By 2025 40bn sg m of floor space built

So, expect more mass transit 'fights' !!
