Hi, I’m Chinese.
Sorry, I don’t really have a solution either. I can’t handle those spam bots coming from them, either. I sometimes use spam bots myself—once someone puts countermeasures in place, I’ll just figure out a new way around them, so there’s basically no solution.
But if it’s Chinese websites scraping and stealing your content, maybe you can add some anti-China content into your pages. That might work—some YouTubers do this.
Does it show IP ranges or ASNs? another way to possible block.
You need to gather stats, IP's, Subnets, ASN's, pattern whatever you can get.
Deploy a WAF, configure it and fuckem.
Made in China bots or bots from China?
I have some guy that for months has been scraping VPS Price Tracker from over 200 ASNs each with at least /24 addresses. I blocked 100,000 addresses and he pops back up from mobile networks, residential, proxies ... looks to be some rented scraping service. Because of the residential ASNs I cannot use the big nuke against him or innocent civilians would be blasted too.
imo, i would suggest to add a password to the page or a simple anti-bot page to skim the scraper.
Usually i check what ip is hammering what page then i prob rangeblock by ASN. or go crazy with blocking Hosting/proxy ASN
