In general, buying any kind of meat from China is not a good idea. Because of the manufacturing process, much of the meat is riddled with diseases that can make you seriously ill.

Chinese meat shops are known for their quick production and less-than-ideal safety standards, so much of the meat comes in contact with unwanted bacteria. In addition, Chinese meat shops have a tendency to mix multiple things together to create something that looks and tastes like beef, but isn’t really beef. If you’re buying beef from China, you might actually end up with a mix of chemicals, paraffin wax, and who knows what else.
