Yeah I don't hold any grudge against China or anything. Gmail has
activity logs. It will show which ip address or country logged in
when. They showed China at the same minute the spam was sent. This
actually happened roughly a year ago to a friend of mine except it was
Japan. For all we know its just some proxy.

However, there is chance that someone from China logs in and sends mail by your account. Then I want to say sorry to all for that reckless guy. And just forget about all things that really don't concern us.
