I've seen places in Shanghai and even in Beijing when I went full of very elaborate graffiti on walls. I'm assuming these were government mandated.
Out of curiosity though, what would be the penalty if I was caught tagging a wall?

That all depends of your luck of who catches you. Some will just look the other way, not caring or not wanting to deal the situation. Some will stop you and may even require a bribe or two. Then you could be caught by one that makes a huge deal of how you are defacing the beauty of China and insulting the Party for you tagging. Then you could potentially be screwed, a foreigner in the courtroom will always loose.
The penalty? Trying to decipher the Chinese characters would be hard enough.
