> I don’t want 90% of all global malicious traffic to originate from a specific country.

Is that actually true? I guess I'm inclined to believe that claims like that are more likely to be propaganda from western governments and/or western-owned companies.

If it is true, I wonder why their government isn't stopping it. They must realize that it's giving them a bad reputation in the wider world.

It is sometimes explicitly used by the government to bring down sites: see the "Great Cannon of China"[1]

It was true (well, in the same ballpark, don’t remember exact numbers) for the website I was in a position to see it for. It may be different for others, but like 98% of the malicious traffic comes from 3 or 4 countries.

To put it rather mildly, I don't really think they care.

No it's not true, the GP just lied out of spite. Also, the OP blog post wrote about Chinese AS' out of spite too /s
