The least intrusive solution is region locking your games
Specifically, region locking China, the part of the world where cheating is a normal part of their culture (thank Chairman Mao for that). But that is the one thing that devs won't do because the Chinese video game market is still far too lucrative even after further restrictions by the CCP, and they would rather keep sucking up those sweet Renminbi Yuans than even begin considering the possibility of appeasing their domestic audience.
Just about every big multiplayer game (whether PUBG, Fortnite, CoD, you name it) has this problem.
No, just China. I don't know how else to convey the scale we are talking about here, but Chinese cheat in games disproportionately in the same way US blacks commit crimes disproportionately. It's not even close.
Modern Chinese culture as we know it today is a result of the Chinese Cultural Revolution. In it, we saw (among too many other consequences to list) the destruction of ancient Chinese artifacts, the deconstruction and subsequent replacement of their culture, and a complete and total hijacking of the very idea of what it meant to get ahead in life (the Red Guard described these as the "Four Olds").
Overall, the Chinese Cultural Revolution wouldn't stop until the day Mao Zedong died in 1976.
Furthermore, a lot of what we know about ancient China today can be credited to Taiwan's preservation efforts (the famous Terracotta Army was discovered in 1974 while the Cultural Revolution was still underway).
If you don't mind the risk of names being butchered, here is a video with more information, and a part 2 in the description.
Edit: Also, back when my brother played PUBG, whenever there was a cheater, they were Chinese every single time (often several at a time as well).
Edit 2: Also, check out the channels SerpentZA and LaoWhy86 for even more information on how modern Chinese culture operates.

Just let them have their own servers isolated away from ours.
China, Southeast Asia in general, Brazil (or South America in general), Russia (or Eastern Europe in general) all have to go.

Honestly curious: how do you know that? Not as a gotcha, I genuenly find the topic interesting and want to read up more on it.
