I (ABC) went with my wife (from Hubei) to a wet market in Wuhan and I asked around for Oxtail (for soup) and I got embarrassed/strange looks from my wife and it looked like not widely sold (finally found it in Wuhan Sam’s Club of all places). In SoCal most Chinese supermarkets have it.
Edit Added 牛尾
For the $50k USD that you can transfer into China does all of these (all debited from from my overseas bank) ATM withdrawal and Remittance Service (Wise, Remity…) count towards the personal amount allowed. I’m sure wire transfers do count. Thanks
