My bike is registered in a company name outside 4th ring road (so I won't receive the ticket via mail), and I'll admit I (very rarely) will carefully run a red light if the area is deserted.

Just finished another bike transfer this morning and I asked the agent about penalties, etc. He said that about a quarter of the bike plates he has been doing this month have camera fines attached (mine was also clean, thank heavens). Last year, he said it was maybe 1 in 10. Same story over on the Chinese forums. Lots of info there about experiences with fines, cameras, ring roads, Chang An, etc.
I guess it really all depends on how lucky you are feeling, and whether one wants to break the laws "just because."
Carrying the logic further, one could say ... h3ll, i don't even need a driving license because i just won't stop. Heard yesterday that two European guys were stopped in a MC checkpoint out in ShunYi ... no DLs ... automatic 15 day administrative detention. Lot of favors called in to get their sorry asses kept out of jail.
No wonder we all get a bad rep.

04-12-2012, 08:57 AMSame here, still suprised I never got any camera tickets. Either a lot of camera's don't actually work, or my JH600 has some kind of stealth functionality I'm not aware of.

04-12-2012, 11:44 AMI rode my 沪A plated Jialing quite a bit in downtown Beijing during my visit in July 2010, and had no problems anywhere. Of course I always tend to be looking precisely the other way when police start flagging me down. OK, to be honest, that didn't happen even once.
I'm thinking that you ride respectfully and responsibly, just as we would here in Shanghai, and you'll be fine. If you are stopped, friendliness and humor (and a fake Shanghai accent) go a long way.
I do wonder what would happen if you got nailed by a camera with an out-of-town plate.
cheers!jkp
