But I hear the VPNs are pretty good at getting around that.
Gmail blocking is a big scare for me. If I lose Gmail, I'm toast.

Is it realistic to expect a 22 year-old semi attractive Chinese girl for a 40 year old white guy? In the Philippines and Vietnam I could do it (non Pros, too), but I have no mainland China experience.
Yea. I have friends in their late 30's that date early 20's girls here. I've also seen older white businessmen on dates with young Chinese women on occasion, obviously they have something going for them. But it's definitely not unattainable.
I'd probably lie about my age though.

RE: Help me pick: Taipei or Beijing
Pollution is hit and miss, Beijing is terrible 33% of the time, bareable 33% of the time and has blue skies 33% of the time. The closer you are to summer and its pollution killing thunderstorms the better chance you have. Never been to Taipei but Beijing is good for online, saying that I'm in my 20's so not sure how it would translate. You need to target the right sites; OKCupid is good for english speakers and Badoo is worth having a look on too. The big chinese apps; Momo and Wechat are based on location and you will need to have some of the language to succeed on them but you could always get lucky. Another option is the dating section on the Beijinger, which has a terrible reputation in Beijing but I killed using it. Tons of girls read it (as the site is popular but the dating section is weird), mostly for a laugh and it is full of the biggest male creeps in the city. Set up the most normal ad you can, just mention meeting new people, being new to the city (hence unaware of the sites reputation), going for a drink and a few hobbies you enjoy, with good presentable photos which clearly show you are normal and not creepy and do not mention any funny business. You will stand out a mile for all the right reasons. There are of course other options but I would set up profiles on OKC, Badoo and thebeijiner right now, to get a flavour of what it's like.

Thanks, these girls you met on-line, were they usually DTF on the 1st or 2nd date?
And if you did bang them, was there a ton of drama afterwards?

1st is tough but then again I never pushed it, I was living there so time was never an issue for me and I had no problem meeting lots and pipelining. 2nd should be good in most cases, by the 3rd if I hadn't initiated for whatever reason they would actually be asking to go back and check out mine.
I never had a huge ammount of drama. The only way they will get properly pissed is if they think you are building towards marraige and you dump her on her ass or cause her to majorly lose face by banging her friend or something. There are subtle ways to convey that you are not marraige material without blurting it out. Mention you only come on business and are looking to meet interesting people or whatever works for your particular shtick. Keep a cool aura at all times and if they do come out in a temper it will eventually boil over. Don't meet their emotional level if they get pissed, it will only make them worse. Of course there are ultra crazies out there but you should be able to spot them easily and weed them out before you meet them in person.
