  Well, although there are IP's in use by Chinese, there are no Chinese IP's.

  HOWEVER, how you block a range depends entirely on your firewall, what
  it's capable of, and what it's not capable of.
  Some will, some won't, and some can be made to by port-forwarding all
  ports to the bit-bucket.

  What's the firewall ?
