since last night I've noticed that I have nearly 200 guests on my board... this morning they are still here...I looked at the IP addresses and they all are from China from the same ISP... (China Unicom Henan province network)
None of them have registered... yet

should I worry?

There's nothing to be worried about. This is most likely just search engine bots crawling the web. I've had hundreds at a time on my board as well, it's quite normal.

There are Chinese search engines, so I don't see why it couldn't be.

Whatever the case, they are bound to be bots of some description.
