A good question! There isn't much that isn't eaten in China. In fact, the people of the southern Chinese province of Guangdong have the reputation of eating absolutely anything. Even among Chinese people they are considered to be slightly too liberal in their consumption!
As far as animals are concerned, pretty much anything is fair game - turtle, snake, dog and grubs would all be happily devoured. As far as I know, the more 'exotic' animals such as panda, tiger and other big cats would not be eaten.
No part of the animal is considered inedible, thus duck neck, chicken feet, pig face are all fair game.
One thing that is not eaten much here is salad, it seems a little odd to the Chinese to eat raw food in this way. Insects are not as popular here as they might be in some South East Asian countries (with the exception of Guangdong of course) and I believe that cat and bat are also off the menu.

What foods do people in china eat?
China is a vast country with various different cultures. As such, there is not one food that everyone in China eats. Contrary to popular belief, the Chinese food that people get in North America (ex. crab rangoon, General Tso's chicken, Mongolian beef, etc) are not actually authentic Chinese, but food cooked by Chinese immigrant families intended to cater to Western palates. There are four major cuisines of China: Cantonese Shandong Szechwan Huaiyang Each of them have their own unique style of cooking. Contrary to popular belief, dog and cat meat are not eaten very commonly, and the practise is mainly restricted to certain regions of China. The most eaten meat in China is pork. Rice is a staple food in much of China, though it was traditionally not eaten in the far northern parts of China.
