OVH puts a ban on business from mainland China. It`s kind of weird. You maybe hate those harassment, and you want to shame mainland Chinese(because almost all other countries, even Hong Kong SAR and Taiwan are accepted). But a) this is business, you should not be that emotional, there are good people in China too. Doing business in this way may only humiliate yourselves. b) you can not just ignore China market, it`s a market no company should overlook.

Could it be because of a lot of spam originates in China?

So some Chinese residents buy the servers to spam others and then they have to clear blacklists for their server IPs?

No offence, fighting spam in that way is either an IQ problem or an EQ problem. Banning mainland China business completely for couple of years to clear blacklists? Brilliant. Actually you can buy any servers from EC2, linode, DO freely from China anytime. How can they deal with this issue?
