So I asked this before, and will ask it again.

If I'm a start-up, or any "hot" website, do I have anything to gain by allowing myself to be reached by computers inside China's IP space? Same for Russia, North Korea? All 3 are known to be the source of many disruptive attacks, neither of the 3 are important markets, with the exception of China, where they've decided to re-implement all non-Chinese internet services anyway.

I'm honestly curious. I'm in the process of launching a project of my own and wonder if there's any reason to not attempt to blacklist China/Russia en masse?
