Chinese farmed emus and other anomalies

Ok, so an inquiry as to where we sourced the Emu I was told it was farmed locally! As in china?….. well at this point you could knock me over with a braised kangaroo shank. ???? Chinese? Emu??? Huh??? Anyway on dining later in the Chinese restaurant upstairs I find 3 Emu dishes on the menu, crazy days.

Two problems with cooking my food here in China are that firstly it is very produce
Driven, and requires the best quality product derived from Australia!
Chinese however have a major supply line problem with their customs regulations
often taking two months for product to pass through, so frozen seems to be the given,also secondly Chinese have a tendency to call any product anything you like, such as why pay so much more for Australian lamb when we can just call any lamb
Australian! After all we have spent soo much on an Australian chef! he has touched it,so Australian it is.
