    Is there anyway to block traffic from a country? China as an example?

    not 100% because IP address assignmentis too dynamic but you can use a GeoIP type service (you can either purchase the whole DB or use web service) to determine the source IP location and band access programatically.

    BTW, i highly recommend you use the web service because IP gets reassigned quite frequently and database can get outdated very fast.
