Q: does the gas barbeque exist in China?
I wanted to eat in Chinese restaurants. My Chinese friends seemed to like American type steak house. I tried to tell them this is normal food for me and something that I would rather have at home than eat out. They do not barbeque.
Do you have or miss barbequing? Steaks have to be barbequed. I do the beer can chicken covered in spices. Burgers absolutely.
You can sometimes find the little cheap charcoal grills for sale. Haven't seen any gas grills around though. I personally went the cheap college student way and brought back a George Foreman last time I went home. 
I had a gas grill, so yes they do. I bought mine at Carrefour in Shanghai, but I sold it a few years back because I really prefer grilling on charcoal.
i bought a charcoal grill before and cooked on it and the gas one when I had a party,, could not tell the dif except charcoal may have ash on it. the charcoal one takes too long and needs more cleaning.
MrTibbles:
I found a bag of hickory wood chips at Carrefour so I soak them and put them on the coals for some nice hickory flavor!
Maybe try Taobao' 淘宝网 | taobao.com it seems to have most things.
Some sites of Interest have barbecues for hire, a lot of students from my University go there to have a BBQ, they seem to like the idea. They buy chicken, mutton, onions, some vegetables and corn to cook. So I guess the BBQ is fairly common. They work out the cost for the bus, food and hire and go and have a great time!
At Metro in Nanjing i saw i good gas BBQ, which was marked down. All stainless steel and good quality for under 1000. Its big (not like my charcoal one i have). I think in the west this model could cost you at least 3000. I didn't take it as I will leave early next year.
