And you can't prove that's not the case?
Nope, I can't. I just do whois on the IPs. Maybe whois is faked. Or maybe they're just leased anonymously.
I've seen more boxes in China that were *very* poorly secured than not (could be selection bias of course) so it's just as likely they're compromised boxes. In fact in the majority of cases it's probably more likely - China's a good place to originate from if your aim is to make it difficult for anyone in the Western World to trace a connection back to your real location - at least by legal methods.
Or maybe they've been compromised, and _then_ leased anonymously ;) I've seen ads for "bulletproof" servers in China that make me wonder.
