Chinese spam

Recently, I've been getting short, apparently irrelevant comments in Chinese, often quoting proverbs. Is this a dry run for commercial spam campaigns, or probing for vulnerabilities in preparation for some system-wide serious cyberattack?

Unfortunately, because of a plague of spam comments, you need to be a "registered user", otherwise your observations will be buried in a torrent of multilingual nonsense. Please do comment!

Say what you please, so long as it's phrased politely and is not libellous or legally proscribed. Fact, reason and wit are keenly welcomed.
