Sorry, am I to understand that there is Serious Discourse happening re: the fact that Chinese people eat more than the four historically random animals westerners have ravaged the biosphere in order to mass-produce for slaughter

Sure - both of those seem bad to me! They don't mean, however, that a relatively omnivorous diet is intrinsically worse or, indeed, historically unusual to any degree worth exoticizing. (Which is what it sounds like people have been doing?)
I haven't seen that, but culturally narcissistic xenophobia springs eternal so I believe it. The one thing with the omnivorous diet is that some animals are safer to eat than others, and those diets tend to coincide with bushmeat, cause some of those animals aren't farm-able

So, on the one hand, unthinking xenophobia and exoticization is bad, but on the other hand, we need to retain the ability to accurately assess these practices from a health-and-safety standpoint. And between Ebola and Coronavirus, bushmeat scores pretty low on health and safety.
