We solved a lot of our problems by blocking all Chinese ASNs. Admittedly, not the friendliest solution, but there were so many issues originating from Chinese clients that it was easier to just ban the entire country.

It's not like we can capitalize on commerce in China anyway, so I think it's a fairly pragmatic approach.

And usually hackers/malicious actors from that country are not afraid to attack anyone that is not russian, because their local law permits attacking targets in other countries.

(It sometimes comes to funny situations where malware doesn't enable itself on Windows machines if it detects that russian language keyboard is installed.)
