It's easy enough for someone in China to use a computer somewhere else as a base for operations and that security doesn't come from just arbitrarily picking ranges of ip addresses to block. Security would necessarily require effectiveness from virtually everywhere - possibly even your own 'trusted' lan.
Spam control on the other hand doesn't rely much on iptables at all but rather many layers of implementation such as RBL's, greylisting (optional but effective), spamassassin, smtp level restrictions and more.
