What if... I'd cut off all connections to China on my home network?

I’m just curious, what if I’d use my pi-hole to block all connections from/to China on my home network. I have a good bit of automation in place, but mostly western solutions, yet still I wouldn’t be surprised if they called China. Have any of you tried this kind of experiment? Is it even possible to block? What gone down?

I block China and Russia on my router and haven’t noticed it one bit. I was most worried about my Tuya lights not working, but even those have been fine.

I think tuya has US data centers. I remember picking something like that when I set up the developer portal.
