Re: The Chinese regularly try and hack my little word press site
Install Wordfence and you can block IP's and ranges with the Advanced Blocking pane. And see in real time who is trying via Live Traffic.
I tended a site besieged by a certain corrupt international child molesting religious agency and never went down due to vigilant blocking and some other measures. But they tried.
Also, obscure your login page, most scripts look in the same hierarchy.
