I had very good chinese food in china but him saying that chinese are very open to new flavours its false i have asked many of them what they like to eat and usually is stuff from their hometown. --Of course there are korean and japanese places but even those cuisines were influenced in chinese roots. Take kimchi for example fermented spicy cabbage is very common in northern china they have been eating before the koreans, even sauerkraut originated there. Eating seafood raw again not exclusive to japanese cuisine. --On the international level the most u see is italian restaurants they serve good pizza but the pasta is never al dente but overboiled, for the -chinese palate- according to the waiter. --Even staff of our company that come from china they are not very curious about trying the cuisine of their new environment they just go to the asian market get all they recognize and cook at home. The times we invited them to go out to a steakhouse they were served big steaks of porterhouse dry aged yknow the good stuff. And they were like we are not used to eating this much meat plus its raw (referring to a perfectly cooked medium rare) not only did they asked for it to get cooked to oblivion thus ruining the fine piece of meat but asked for white rice to go with it. --And this has appened several times so we just take them to chinese restaurants lol.

In China have never had a cheese culture, all Chinese cheeses, Thailand, Japanese, all of Asia. They are copied from Italian or French cheeses, even the Asian wine culture has never had cultures or wines, sparkling wine, champagne, prosecco, typical of Italian style, now being worldwide--In Italy, or France, have never copied anything of Chinese food, because not having culture, raw materials and experience, be fair to leave the Chinese or all of Asia to respect the gastronomic boundaries to their cultures of belonging--In asia, even street food is excellent, very good--but to think of doing it in Europe is difficult because you do not have the real raw materials or the manual skills of an Asian chef--In Asia have a culture about yogurt or sauces

Asian cuisines in general don't use a lot of cheese. I'm Indian and we barely have any cheese dishes either. It's only white people who seem to have this obsession with cheese, I don't really get it. When I do eat cheese, it's like the most standard, mild tasting stuff. I can't handle the really pungent French cheeses white girls tend to swoon over.

The only problem is that not many Chinese citizens can afford to buy such expensive cheese, if its expensive as it is in the West or in Europe its a total no-go for many people there. Average income is like 900 usd/month and 11k yearly, I'd doubt the average person would spend the money on cheese rather than a bowl of noodles or bao

I've never heard of the 2008 scandal. But, I'm not surprised, since China doesn't have a health department. When I visited there, the conditions the food were kept at restaurants markets were deplorable. IMHO, I think the Chinese government is unofficially trying to curtail the population.

There are mainly two reasons why cheese is not popular in China. First, a lot of Chinese people are lactose intolerant. Second, we have lost Mongolia, the biggest grass land once owned by China, thus, the milk is rather expensive.

Cheese isn't as foreign to china as this video makes it seem. The northern Mongolian-related tribes of China make a kind of cheese that is a daily staple of their diet. --But admittedly it is pretty uncommon to the han chinese

To lexman. Beijing camembert denotes the cheese was made in beijing, not normandy france; or hudson valley new york for that matter (shout out to fennel or black pepper crusted camembert styles produced in h. vale N. Y)
