From my experience, Chinese police and authority in general are extremely lenient on first time offenders. You will usually get a stern lecture and warned never to do it again.
If you’re a non-citizen, you’ll probably be monitored for awhile.
However if you continue to get in trouble, then the punishment can increase exponentially.
Strangely, in some cases, they would just take you on a vacation [1] to get you away from the area.
