To the OP: you may have perfectly good reasons for avoiding, but as stated by others, 90%+ of pax get patted down. Unless you speak fluent Chinese, and can explain cogently why you want a room, I think the whole thing can blow up and be lost in translation. If this is a big issue, best to avoid China.

The video shows a brief glimpse of "pat down" procedure. Also consequence if you
"misbehave".
Pat down gone bad

More detailed Chinese version
Definitely TSA are more "hands on" than their Chinese counterparts.

Looks like they have perfected the art of getting a confession.
Never seen an "interrogation chair" like that. Complete with
paper and pen.

But mostly, yes, you'll be getting a free light massage. Which doesn't feel intrusive at all.
