The duck that we get in California is usually from Petaluma. Every good American or French restaurant serves duck breast rare. Lots of restaurants feature a dish called "Duck Cooked Two Ways", wherein the breast is roasted rare and the remainder is cooked well done. I believe that this dish was introduced by a Southern California chef named Cindy Black, whose eponymous restaurant was in La Jolla. Chinese duck recipes usually call for the duck to be wok fried well done. Frankly, I have NEVER seen the breast of the duck served in any Chinese restaurant. Or at least they don't offer it to gwai-los.
