This kind of proxying is done by sites in the US too:

[webmasterworld.com...]

These guys are out of New York. I've banned these guys too. But what I don't like about the Chinese version is the following:

(1) They alter the links on the page they serve, hence they are defacing your webpage.
(2) Any personal info that gets submitted will be submitted through them, which is a huge security/privacy threat (which is not the case with the proxy service listed above from New York).
(3) The proxy service (from New York) above does not try to mask their user agent making it easy to ban them, but the chinese version does. I caught them this morning pretending to be googlebot. And then something else later. That is sneaky.

I can't emphasize (2) enough. Somebody thinks they are on your website and trusts you, but ends up submitting personal info to them.
