I hope it was an accidental omission on your part - but if not - let me remind you that the paper roll nearby has more uses than that of a pillow.

No omission, and no accident. The "as quickly as possible" carefully includes a healthy deference to that paper's important role.

That's a relief. Hopefully you don't reduce your residency to the point where you pass through your office/home with a disturbing resemblance to a white-tailed deer.

Please sir, you do my word choice an injustice. I spelled it "role" because I was referring to the role the paper plays in making such occasions tolerable.

No harm meant - I thought I could use that word and get a double meaning (i.e., two-ply) result.

I have set up a very basic website for my bushwalking club. I used Joomla and so have access to lots of good components for managing the site. One of these is a web traffic tool. When I look at the logs there are hundreds of hits from Beijing each week. Many (most?) of them have IP addresses that are very close to each other. What's this all about?

Do you have anything that they may want to copy?

Given that the population of Beijing is greater than the membership of CP (but they're all active as Beijing residents all the time), you probably get higher per-capita percentage of hits from the Easter islands.
And don't you consider it somewhat racist to immediately assume that, because they're Chinese, they're doing evil?
I'd say that if only a few hundred people out of eleven million are interested in your hobby, then it's not the most popular of hobbies.
Open a web-site about Barbie dolls. You'll get a billion impressions a week from China.

Where have I suggested anything of the sort?
Internet access is not universal in China and much of the internet is blocked.
These hits started in large numbers from the first day the site went live. This in itself seems interesting because the IP addresses are always very close together.

That's not nearly as true as certain vested interests would want you to believe.
There are more smartphones in use in China than just about anywhere else, and it's only "not universal" in tiny villages, a million miles from nowhere (quite a lot of China is barely populated; is there "universal Internet access" in the middle of spaghetti-western country, or the backwoods of Alaska?)
If you got a lot of hits just after start-up, then it was probably spiders for Baidu, etc, to make your web-site more easily available to searches. I dare say you got far more admin hits from google, yahoo, and the NSA, each of which would have hit the site multiple times from a small IP block.
Do bear in mind that you're talking about a country where a large chunk of the goods you use (including apple and other brand smartphones) are made; a billion people with TVs, smartphones, computers, etc. It's not some weird dictatorship, where everyone is spied on constantly by the government.
That description fits the US and UK better, these days.

Take no notice in Mark W's link below - anything that he perceives as even vaguely Sinophobic is cause for an immediate defensive posture.
He has a few other knee-jerk response patterns. Feel free to deduce and invoke them at your leisure.

They are probably trying to guess a password by brute force. Or they are trying to find a vulnerability in your website.
