Chinese arn't really beginner species due to their high mortality rates during the first few instars, they are only common because of the huge amount of wild collected ootheca available which flood the market at this time of year and can be bought for only a couple of quid. You will be very lucky to get any that are captive breed.

They are plenty of much easier to rear species available.
