I believe ligaments are generally looser in younger girls as well, so it's easier to contort the body. That's why in a Chinese acrobatic show the most difficult tricks were done by pre-teen or early-teen girls.
The rule, though, is really more like a child labor law and I don't think the Chinese are following the intent of the law whether or not pre-sixteen girls are competing.
