Inserting my completely unwarranted research (i thought this was
interesting, so i did a little reading)...

China is still handled by APNIC, which has a very specific allocation of
IP space to work with:
http://www.apnic.org/info/reports/annual_reports/1997/resource_status.html

APNIC does not provide strict guidance about the allocation of ip space
to China, so it's likely to be spread across all of APNIC's blocks:

61.0.0.0/8
169.208.0.0/13
210.0.0.0/7
202.0.0.0/7

Incidentally, CNNIC has applied to APNIC for recognition as a National
Internet Registry (NIR) for China:
http://www.cnnic.net.cn/html/Dir/2003/12/12/1975.htm

However, so far the response from APNIC has been that CNNIC:
"did not meet the criteria (i.e., obtain a "rough consensus" of the
Internet community in the country in question and/or represent the
government of the country in question directly) for the delegation to
occur prior to the end of 1997."

More than you (& I) wanted to know, I'm sure.  ;-)
