Similar for me. From the 732745 login attempts last month, 52% were from China, followed by US with 13%. Here is a graph: https://i.imgur.com/YPAuTXO.png

The sheer volume of bot traffic surprised me at first, especially since my website has zero human visitors as far as I can tell, but the numbers are consistent month after month.

Nevertheless, my $1/month VPS can handle the traffic without a problem, so I see no need to ban or rate limit any IPs, especially since I hate captchas with a passion.
