Someone mentioned that rural areas of China may not have access to vets, etc.

I admit I have not been there, but according to people who HAVE been, "rural" in China compared to Canada is so beyond 'out in the sticks' that we can barely comprehend.

I highly doubt there are any vets outside the major cities. I am happy to stand corrected.

China is a HUGE, vast country. Looks like the media can get to the countryside easily enough...
