I use several tools and ways to determine the traffic source. First of all, I have a tracker install on all my sites to capture the IP. Agreed that some of these china surfers will likely be using public proxy and IP address from another countries while surfing online. But the tracker still be able to capture some IP and activities from China, hong kong and taiwan.
Secondly, I use IP analysis tools to see the original location of visitors to my sites if they are using public proxy that still provide "forworded for' code. From there,, I would still be able to track down the originallocation of visitors.
And finally, when option 1 and 2 do not give me a good picture, I'll visually see the sites visitors are coming from. It's pretty tedious and time consuming when the database egt large, but well, that's the way if I need to determine the traffic source and chart my plan ahead.
