Guangzhou: 90
Taipei: 86
Hangzhou: 85
Xiamen: 84
Tokyo: 83
Shanghai: 82
Beijing: 74
Vancouver: 52
LA: 48
SF: 45
San Diego: 38
NYC: 30
Boston: 22
Singapore: 0
Hawaii: -5
Chicago: -25
London: -30

I've lived in 5 of these cities, and visited most of them, except 4.

for me, beijing would be 100, hk 90, shanghai 85 and tokyo 80.

paris might be positive.
oh probably istanbul shall be around 50.

i'd give shenzhen 0.

Any non-Asian city without an acceptable Chinatown would have a negative score.
