Large broadband pools infested with pirated windows machines, mainly.
 These are swipped to local chinese ISPs, who get their IP space from
CNNIC (and/or some older netblocks from APNIC)

In other words, what is happening there is a bunch of SPs with an
infested network who could do stuff like walled gardens, port 25
filtering etc.   I haven't seen spammers or malware artists getting
themselves a PI /15 from CNNIC or APNIC

Smaller netblocks direct from the RIR maybe.  Or hijacked IP space
repurposed from defunct companies.

Not one case that I can remember of PI /15s acquired through LIRs.
