Next time you receive chinese spam, reply to it with something like this:
Thank you for the insight into your new Falun Gong group, and your proposal for increased awareness of human rights violations in China. We have sent the information requested to your house, and it will arrive within the next few days. Down with Chinese communism!
I think there'll be a lot less spam from that spammer after sending this!
