Are Chinese the best at fried chickens? How do they get that unique chicken flavor that they also use to make chicken fried rice? Doesn't taste like western chickens.

This. And I'm sure most Chinese restaurants keep reusing frying oil, so it picks up and imparts more flavor.

Do all Chinese places use that same 1:1 cornstarch:flour mix for frying chicken? It's ridiculously consistent.

Based on your OP pic, I think the trick is to use fish instead of chicken.
Like >>12709814 says, pre-seasoned oil probably helps.

Raw chicken in China needs extra steps to make it 'pickled chicken'. I don't know the exact word. It's a procedure to add powder, flour, eggs, soy sauce to add flavour first.

High heat oil from a wok has a very specific flavor I associate with western style Chinese food.
