You may believe... but are you *sure*?  (Over the years, we've seen
*lots* of "block China" lists that accidentally block chunks allocated
to Taiwan or Australia or other Pacific Rim destinations).

And remember - asking the NIC doesn't help, because there are almost
certainly blocks allocated that the registration points to Korea or
someplace, but the provider routes a sub-block to China.  And let's
not even get started on blocks allocated by ARIN or RIPE....

(Yes, it *was* a trick question :)
