I don't find to many people in china staring or snapping my pic, every once in a while... Most of the time a smile will get a smile back and that is the end of it. Some times students will ask to take a pic with me, most of the time i am happy to take a couple pics.. In Sumatra a few years back, I felt like a movie star or something I must of had 100 people ask for my pic..even had people running out of there work and chasing me down the street to pose with me .hahahah In India with my wife, not long ago...nobody asked for my pic! They all wanted my wife's (East Asian)..I guess that is more exotic for them now! I think its mostly just some curious fun..Maybe they can tell there friends they have a foreign buddy.

Saying that if somebody was hitting me with a full on photo shoot(like the poster above) I might tell them to piss off! haha
