The Venus definitely is Chinese. I've never had a Venus clarinet, But I've played a Venus curved soprano saxophone for quite a while. I'm impressed with it, especially the fit & finish. The sound was not bad either. A decent student instrument. Mouthpiece was Blah, and I replaced, but that's another tale.
As for Schiller, I pulled this off the Schiller web site
"Schiller Today.
Continuing to innovate Schiller Musical Instruments today by manufacturing and engineering brass and woodwind instruments. The Schiller Instruments are sold to musicians all around the world. All of the Instruments are made with a Hands on Approach and the instruments are affordable to all musicians. Schiller is now worldwide based company with engineering in Germany and corporate offices in the USA and Shanghai, China."
Found this under the "Company" heading on the website you noted in your post.
So, I'd say the likelihood of Schiller instruments being built in China is quite high.
Cheers
John
