Okay, I'll ask an obvious question. Did DISA at least block all
IANA-assigned Chinese IP addresses so they couldn't visit .mil sites? Did
DISA's civilian counterpart do the same for .gov sites? Or does our
government pursue an "allow unless denied" policy with adversaries?

We restrict Chinese nationals from visiting U.S. government installations
except under specific circumstances, so why can't we restrict Chinese IPs
from visiting U.S. government computers except under specific circumstances?
