Dude that does the exact opposite. The Chinese don't do it because it tastes better, they do it for "health" and because it "cools the body" which is why they love to eat tortured dog in the summer. It's Chinese medicine, about as effective as you'd expect.
Stress makes the meat extremely tough and bitter from all the cortisol. It would be the same for Humans.

Fear and lifeforce/spirit/whatever is what all Youkai survive off of. As Youkai are heavily influenced by their myths, vampires require blood as a matter of course, but it does not doesn't change that fact they're still consuming the same stuff as other Youkai. Kogasa is pure in this regard since she doesn't eat in the physical sense, she just takes it directly using fear as a conduit and if she scared someone proper like in "the good ole days" her victims would be so discombobulated they have trouble walking and need to recover. Hermits and monks are desirable targets because they are abundant with life and vigor. There is an argument to be made that Youkai don't actually need to eat Humans and just need to skim some spirit off the top every once in a while like Kogasa, which could very much be true at the time when the Akyuu's addition to the Gensokyo Chronicles gets finished, but as it is, eating people is the most efficient way of getting this lifeforce and violence is predisposed in Youkai nature and myths, at least until Human perceptions and the rules of Gensokyo mold them otherwise.

Chinese don't. They make fun of the Japanese, and anyone else for that matter, for caring about the well being of animals.
Anyway you should really hate the Chinese, they're vermin of the earth and the most deplorable cretins I had the displeasure of interacting with. Meiling's cool though.
