Look like some sort of spider from China. Maybe it's legit - some sort of SE spider. Maybe it's harvesting email addresses. You could just block 60.178.70.* if you're worried about it, or a quick search will reveal a number of methods for spider trapping you could use to handle this for you (for this IP and any other bots that are misbehaving).

Here's a nice list of bad bots to get you started :) - http://www.htmlhelp.com/.htaccess
