That's a load of shit on several counts. Firstly I get the same TCP connection drops when connecting from an Australian IP address, so he's not just blocking China. Secondly, Robbie's site has no comments sections, so blocking comment spam isn't a valid reason in this case. And thirdly, China doesn't have an out-of-proportion spamming malware problem. According to Spamhaus stats which are a pretty decent proxy for estimating malware issues, China has 64% of the spam issues of the US despite having over four times the population. China's not doing as well as India on spam issues per capita, but they're not doing badly.
