experiences flying into China on a one-way ticket

What have been your experiences flying into China on a one-way ticket.

I get repeated warnings of needing a return ticket or proof of onward travel from the airlines.

The truth is, I just want to go to China one-way and travel around (get visa extentions for a couple months or so) and then leave the country to "wherever" at a later date.

I don't want to buy a return ticket, knowing I won't ever come back.

I also don't see the need in wasting money on onward travel that I don't intend to actually do.

What happened to you when you flew to China one-way? Did you ignore these ridicilious warnings? Did they try to stop you on a one-way? How did you get out of it stress-free?

For God's sake, drink some decaff. I flew into China on a one-way ticket...what do you want me to say? "I was held captive", "the Communists stole my feet", "I'm being held excommunicado"? You heard "this", and you heard "that". Why not try it yourself and see what happens? Lighten up.
