In the UK there is a scheme whereby troublemakers who are banned from one pub in an area are banned from them all...
Well, in that case you might as well ban China as a country. Oh, and why stop there: just ban the whole of Asia!
I' completely agree with all the concerned law abiding citizens in this thread that this is a huuuuuuge problem (much bigger than the race to the bottom deterioration of T&C's in our beloved industry) so therefore I'm pleading for microchip implants (you know, just like they already do with pets!) instead of pilot licenses and type ratings.
These microchips can then be automatically synchronized with a microchip reader installed in all cockpits of airliners with a higher MTOW of 5700kgs, which automatically logs flight time, type ratings, take off's landings and from which seat. Airline HR departments will, for verification purposes, also have these chip readers installed next to a hidden trap door in order to dispose of any bullsh!tartists presenting themselves at the interview! That will teach 'em!
