What if... I'd cut off all connections to China on my home network? (alien.top)

I'm just curious, what if I'd use my pi-hole to block all connections from/to China on my home network. I have a good bit of automation in place, but mostly western solutions, yet still I wouldn't be surprised if they called China. Have any of you tried this kind of experiment? Is it even possible to block? What gone down?

This is only going to do so much. If a connection is trully malicious, it’ll probably route through a domestic or EU IP (azure, digital ocean, linode, aws, hetzner, etc)

That said it would be interesting to monitor and see who all your devices are talking too
