Hi @GwapoSan and welcome to the forums!
Frustrations about cheating and spamming are understandable. Although, I think it's unfair to blame an entire region. It's also against the rules here.
It was announced recently that solution to the problem of spamming is being worked on but that it may take time. In the meantime, you're doing the right thing in reporting them.
"SPAMMERS DURING CHARACTER SELECT
We are very aware of the cases of players spamming during character select and the drop and then disconnecting shortly after. We’re keeping a lot of our strategy close to the chest so offenders don’t have time to build workarounds before we implement changes. Solutions won’t happen right away but we’re on it."

Enjoy Apex!
Unfair to blame an entire region? Man, most of the cheaters are from China! We can't deny that fact. There are also Korean hackers but mostly are from China and they are everywhere! I've played PUBG and most of the hackers are from China. When PUBG Corp decided to region lock China everything went great and the fun came back! Respawn and EA should learn from other games. PUBG almost died because of hackers but they suddenly came back up when they made that decision.
It's unfair to blame an entire region because then honest players are blamed as well as the cheats. And that's not fair.
We all know that cheating is a challenge for game producers on PC. I believe it's best to support their efforts and to appreciate them and the honest players.
You have to learn to smile your way through these things.
If majority of the players in that region is cheating then unfortunately I believe it is best for EA to consider to region lock them. That small percentage of “honest” player sis nothing compared to a chaotic number of cheaters/hackers and it causes MAJOR impact in the game mostly ruins the game experience of MAJORITY of Apex players. Also, I paid for the BP and my playing experience is being ruined by these cheaters/hackers so how would I smile if I was being ripped off with my money.

It´s not only china.
Germany, France, Russia and other eastern countries are known to have a lot of cheaters too.... especially the younger generations since the millenials.
You won´t stop anything by just regionlock china.
We need proactive anticheat software like battleeye.... or the good old punkbuster.

lets keep the chinese out of american servers. give the chinese their own servers in taiwan or hong kong.
wait did they actually made a region lock on china only? Damn that's neat. Guess gonna go play again.
also in South East Asia almost all cheaters do come from China. Pubg was filled with it back in the day.
