During my (extremely brief) time in China and SE Asia in general, I'd agree that I never noticed any splintered bones - even though it was quite common to find a leg piece (for example) cut crosswise into 2-3 pieces.  I think my local NYC places, no matter how "authentic," have extremely blunt cleavers...

 

 

My lovely chicken vendor lady in the market chops my chicken. Never a splinter.

(But I have to be careful - "chicken lady" in Chinese is also slang for a prostitute, which I'm sure she isn't!)
