Low cost China peering with tunnel
I have a server in Tokyo, has high packet loss to mainland China.
Wondering if I can get outbound to China with my own IP with a gre tunnel (I think only outbound is congested, might be wrong though).
Just looking for good ping/loss to the main eyeball networks in China (Unicom, Telecom, Mobile) doesn't have to be cn2. Tokyo or Hong Kong.
Bandwidth usage is modest and steady. 99% of this traffic is non-chinese though I'd expect some more chinese users if this works.

Have you contacted China Telecom to setup peering?

China Telecom is present in several IXPs in Europe and Africa, but none in Japan.

You may have better chance of successful peering if you move your server to South Africa.
No that is too far for me. I want < 90 ms ping to china.
The cheapest CN2 would be https://www.alibabacloud.com/free
Available in Tokyo and Hong Kong.
Mine was 2TB of Traffic on 10Mbit for 16$/y, the current offers are not as good, though still cheap as fuck.

I'm aware of that, but I'd like to use my own ip.
I'm anycasting my /24 so I can split it around the world with servers in US and Europe, and it looks like alibaba byoip does not look like a real BGP session. So if I let them announce the ip it's going to pick up traffic everywhere and send it back to china and make me pay for their expensive bandwidth.
