Sort of what I do, well almost...

I have a small script that weekly retrieves the list from APNIC, with
awk it extracts the countries I want, then cleans it up and loads it, if
successful, scp's the file to other servers and loads them :)

It's nasty, it's messy, but it works :)

It's ashame we have to do this, I have no problems at all with other
asian countries like Japan, Thailand and so on, it's only China, Taiwan,
Korea and as of last 3 or so months, Hong Kong, and you'd think with
Chinas politics and strong net restrictions, they of all of them would
be the least problem, but it seems not, however I have heard they are
trying to do something about it for which I do applaud them, but sadly I
think it still might be a while before I feel its cleaned up enough to
remove China from the 'hitlist'.
