The "doggie bag" is a well established custom in North America also. But it assumes the use of disposable containers. You can either allow the servers to package your leftovers or you can usually ask for the containers and package them yourself. 

 

Yes, I know "doggie bag" culture is common in N. America, but I think it's more ubiquitous in China. It is literally every restaurant I've been to; from cheap dives all the way up to mega-expensive deluxe places. There is no embarrassment at all.

The wait staff package our leftovers. They expect to.

 

And no tipping!
