Does there exist an affordable, half-way decent e-flat clarinet? -Chinese maybe. As I would only seldom use this instrument, there is no point in spending too much money on one. Thank you.

Well, Ruben, no matter how expensive or how inexpensive an E-flat clarinet may be, if the intonation is questionable the instrument is useless.

That really should be your primary criteria in seeking out an E-flat clarinet, aka "the weapon".
