IP ranges associated with China are available on the net.

Didn't help me all that much.

Most of the abuse and spam leveled at the servers I manage come through $5 DigitalOcean servers being used as relays.

It's the same thing that ruined voice telephony: Make the connection so cheap that it can be abused at scale.
