Your friend is right -- you should definitely apply to MBA earlier than 30 as the average age for most US programs are usually 26-28 (and trending lower for some of the best ones). If you earned a 730 on your last GMAT try, I bet you might even best your score this time around. Given your competitive demo, it will behoove you to apply with as strong of a score as possible.
If you already have a masters in marketing from Johns Hopkins, you need to think critically about the story that you will tell the AdCom through your essays about why you need an additional masters and what you think you'll learn in your MBA that you still need to round out any gaps. What sort of study are you looking to pursue in your MBA? (It might be best *NOT* to say marketing here but instead pick a discipline that you'll need to be successful but that you haven't really explored yet -- e.g., finance, HR, etc.).
Applying as a Chinese applicant with an aspiration to do M/B/B consulting post-MBA isn't a bad profile, but it is a very overrepresented one. Why do you want to do consulting? How will it help you fulfill your long-range plans? Why do you think you'll be good at it based on prior successes? These are the questions that you'll need to answer to get your strategic positioning right and stand out from the crowd.
