Walk round in a Dalai Lama t-shirt...........with a certain flag as the background.
That's the weird nature of most American guys I have ever known, at least of my generation and older, they kinda did whatever they fkn wanted to wherever they were. Also noticed that 'tude in Germans and Aussies.

Hmmm...
First of all, let me help you complete your question, What should an American NOT do in China, if...?
Well, based on your question itself, the answer is, nothing really.
If you don't know where you are going, any road will take you there.
Forget TP. did once...most disgusting story of my life...always carry the toilet paper.
are you going to give more to your 'question'?
and why is this question focused on 'Americans'?
there are probably more people from other countries in China than there are Americans, but then he/she would know that, being a 'foreigner' in China
and can you please give more clarity on your other question on 'where to live in Beijing?' - you sort of let people hanging on that one, by not clarifying what you were looking for.
here's an idea to the OP - you contribute an answer to your question.
1. Impregnate a young Chinese girl
2. Seek drugs, prostitution or gambling
3. Tell Chinese people how great America is
4. Give open criticism of the CCP
5. Eat street food from disreputable looking vendors
6. Drink from the faucet
7. Drink baijiu
8. Give your passport to anyone
9. Work on a tourist visa
10. Take advice from expat websites
Hotwater:
I disagree with 5 but definitely agree with 10 so don't take any notice of me!
BobC:
Well shit I've done all of them, does drinking from the faucet count if I boil it first?
smcurrey:
I have done all of the things on this list. No trouble yet.
An American should not forget to file his/her taxes in the U.S. Beijing has an IRS office, they know you are here working if you got a Z visa.
If you find yourself in trouble then you might be a retard.
