Won't work.
You cannot 'upgrade' (AFAIK) from one language to another - even if you are
upgrading version (Home to Professional in this case.)

In order to 'upgrade' - your friend will need the Chinese version of
Professional.

However - there is nothing keeping them from performing a clean installation
of the english version (given they have a license) and 'upgrading' that way.
