It depends on which ISP.
If you choose an ISP in Japan that utilises IP transit from NTT only, then you will experience congestion with China Telecom and Unicom at certain times. This may present a problem with you, as the latency is not stable.
You need an ISP with KDDI or IIJ peering.
In regards to Hong Kong, bandwidth is more expensive and it depends on which ISP you are you using. You would want to look at ISPs that peer with PCCW, TeliaSonera HK, CN2 (AS4808) or China Unicom Global HK. These are quite expensive, with ~5Mbps bandwidth.
E.g. Linode in Japan should have acceptable latency to China Mainland.
E.g. MSFT Azure in HK, JP with direc connectivity to CT/CU.
So dediserve in hongkong would be good?
@dediserve
They do have a looking glass on their site (you can use to check), but from what I heard a while ago, they have a separate service that costs extra for direct China connectivity.
They said they no longer have it. Does that mean ping will be very high?

Use CN CentOs mirrors as an example.
