> Chinese just try to destroy and censor. Worked at a company which hosted presentations, one of their 5 million presentations was critical of China. We received over 10,000 phone calls and close to a million emails in two days, and a sustained 10gbps ddos attack for a week.

Do you have any proof it had to do with the presentation? You're treating "China" as if it was one person.

> Letting russia and china on the internet was a massive security mistake we should rectify. The world spends literally BILLIONS because chinarussia are frankly assholes online.

> Russisns mostly try to disrupt and steal because thats their foreign policy.

Great! Now Russians go straight to using a US residential proxy when they commit fraud because they see they are being blocked instead of silently raising their internal risk score or any of the 50 smarter things you could have done.
