  I think they were suggesting the websites they run, 90%+ of the attacks come from Hong Kong, i.e. not that 90% of all website attacks come from HK. No way of knowing unless they publish the logs/stats

    I think most likely they are amalgamating Hong Kong and China like some people do on the thread here. And yes, indeed some Data Centers in China are a big source of spam and automated attack, but it just doesn't make sense to block an entire country when you can just block hosting providers.

  The Spamhaus page mentioned in the article you linked: https://www.spamhaus.org/statistics/countries/ https://www.spamhaus.org/statistics/countries/ now shows China as the top malicious country. TFA was written in 2016. In the last 3 years China has overtaken the USA. So it's not a false narrative. Most attacks and spams do come from China, not the US.
