Been to China a good few times for work. As a traveller as long as you’re set on the visa front at the border they’re very chill. Way more than the US.
US: What do you work in? Cyber security. Right this way sir. SSS stamped on my ticket. Bullshit long queue for SSS people. Deep search of everything and lots of questions (US immigration is this side in my country).
Actual experience.
China: Checks visa. Makes sure my face matches passport. Stamp. Nod.
The last time I visited China was ca. 2005/6 and pretty much matches what you describe.
The last time I was in the United States was in 2015. While I work in banking (specifically IT for banking) it was fairly chill at the time. I changed jobs though in early 2016 and haven’t been required to leave the EU for work related travel since, which is incredibly reassuring.
