'access?' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'name poses problem at chinese border might' is the wordplay.
'problem' indicates anagramming the letters.
'at' says to put letters next to each other.
'chinese border might' becomes 'e' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'name'+'poses'='nameposes'
'nameposes' with letters rearranged gives 'opensesam'.
'opensesam'+'e'='OPEN SESAME'

'this enable' is the link.
This may not be right. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.
