Had a drink with ice in it from a very dodgy-looking bar. The ice bucket looked like it hadn't been cleaned in years and who knows whether the ice was actually made from drinking water.

My advice is not to trust any ice that you personally have not made... The Chinese don't appreciate 'cold' drinks and by extension will probably not appreciate ice cubes too.
I always ask to not have ice in China. Especially for my coffee. As teggsnose writes, people use ice so infrequently that the flow of ice in a typical ice cube maker is low, and cleaning is probably never going to happen.
Have not had any laduzi incidents I could link to ice cubes.
I'm having Scotch with 2 homemade (Xinjiang) ice cubes.
How would I know it was the ice cudes that made me sick?Almost impossible unless they come from KFC.
The only place that I go to that usually serves drinks with ice are fast food restaurants such as mcdonalds, bk or kfc. The other restaurants usually just give me the drink with no ice unless I ask for it
No never. If you get ice from legal bars/restaurants then the ice is usually bought in large sacks and made from drinking water.
