Abstract: Abstract This chapter provides a unique perspective on the Chinese entrepreneurial landscape via insights that result from a combination of evidence drawn from the academic literature and the lead author's experience from living for over two years in China. That experience underpins an autoethnographic account of entrepreneurship in China. That account is accompanied by reflections on China's entrepreneurship-backed rise, the idea of mass entrepreneurship, and characteristics of China's environment that affect entrepreneurship. This paper thus offers readers a first impression of the reality of entrepreneurship in China. It also provides real-world entrepreneurial insights into China from a foreign perspective. Those general impressions could equip readers to identify promising research paths and understand differences to the Western system.
