While the interest may lie with individuals who are in it for money, or politicians who wan to "clean up" the itnernet, I feel better knowing that ICANN is taking care of more important business first.
Some friends and I discussed this once. The original purpose of the internet was so that no one place could be brought down in case of attack. Hence if you block china's IP space that may prevent some minor inconveniences but they will still be able to bounce through other servers. The only way to block them out would be if everyone else blocked china.
