Have you run into problems with contributors who can't enter the PRC?

Actually the opposite is the problem:

“International scientists rethink U.S. conference attendance“

This is not helpful.
It's not a helpful reply to that particular comment, but I think it's worth recognizing that the US is now in the same camp as HK or mainland China now where there will be some people who just simply cannot enter.
The mainland and Hong Kong still have significantly different visa policies. I'm not sure if it's changed at all since the handover, except for mainlanders entering HK.
Yes I know, but HK is still part of the PRC and there are people who cannot travel to the PRC.

It's not about (in)ability to obtain a visa.
