I think this is no more surprising to you:

Symantec Corp. (Nasdaq: SYMC) today announced the publication of its March 2010 MessageLabs Intelligence Report. Analysis of the origins of targeted attacks, malicious emails sent in small volumes aimed at gaining access to sensitive corporate data, reveals that the majority of targeted malware sent this month, originated in the United States (36.6 percent) based on mail server location, but when analyzed by sender location, more targeted attacks actually originated in China (28.2 percent), Romania (21.1 percent) and United States(13.8 percent).

Interestingly, the report also showed the city of Shaoxing (in northeastern Zhejiang province) in China seems to be a major source, accounting for 21.3% of targeted attacks, as is Taipei (16.5%) in Taiwan, and London (14.8%) in the UK.
