This is interesting, while playing with wordfence live traffic window, I saw visitors from China. Which I never noticed on GA. Is it the case with other bloggers too?

 

Can I guess that GA doesn't report traffic from China and that's one of the main cause of traffic difference between Jetpack and GA? Or, am I reaching too far in my assumption?

GA will usually filter out known spammer or malicious IP addresses from our totals.  Yesterday, I was attacked by over 3,000 brute force attacks on my admin login.  They never got in, but I decided to password protect my login page because of the attacks.  If you don't have any type of login limit plugin, then I would recommend one.  Most of my attack attempts were from China.

You can check the demographic tab to see the countries. I see a few visitors from China.

I don't understand why Chinese hackers attack blogs? What do they gain from this?

They can either put a nasty script that will infect a user with a virus, depending on their browser setup, or they take over a site and fill it full of links.  There are a couple of "SEO services" companies that specialize in selling links on hacked sites.

Lol my favorite game is going into GA and trying to find random countries where readers come from. You'd be surprised.
