Though Chinese people are very hospitable, they also respect the guest's taste. I think as long as you explain clearly to the host, they will never force you to eat the meat dish. It's not offensive. Don't worry!0

(Sorry! I am vegetarian and do no eat meat.)
As far as if it would be disrespectful or not. I have never been to China but have many online friends there and when they have invited me to visit & eat with them they have all ask me about my personal eating habits and told me they would work with me if I did not eat any type of food. I don't thank it would be a problem. But I am American studying Chinese culture and traditions.0
