If this activity continues for more that 10 days then it's not normal search
engine indexing but really a attack designed to generate a denial of service
situation for your server to stop the Chinese public from accessing you. The
Chinese government is known to do this sort of thing to restrict their
citizen's access, specially if what you have is considered undesirable
information by the Chinese government. So what is the subject matter covered
by these Chinese pdf's ?????

Complete works of Marx, Lenin etc. So yes, it's perfectly possible that it's deliberate. I don't think it matters too much either way in the sense that a fix is a fix. Actually, if it's not a deliberate attack I think it's more likely to be a clumsy attempt to download and replicate the site than to index it. Which unfortunately means your neat solution won't help us.
