Even something simple like "sweet and sour chicken" is far removed and most people will not enjoy sorting through the bones and "rest of the bird" to find the meat. Yes, we have become spoiled over here...

I think you have this backwards. The "Chinese food" served in the US is generally crap (only exception I've found are places in Monterey Park and probably Vancouver). Most everything I ate in China otoh was awesome (though there were a few dished that I didn't care for), and at the very least, made with fresh ingredients.
Best food I've ever eaten in the world was in Shanghai. The US has spoiled the rest of the world with McDonalds, KFC and Starbucks...
