I think as long as one took the authorized port of entry via Beijing on an official tour and just went along and followed the rules you would be ok.

Some of the ones who got imprisoned (like the Current TV reporters) were in Southern China near the North Korean border, an area where many North Koreans try to cross over. It seems like a common arrest point.
