i've been working there for years.
PRC there do not use the old VPN for youtube or gaming.
they use SSR/V2Ray/shadowguard. speed was much much better than VPN
watch 4k video super smooth. due to using premium CN2 network

basically they buy VPS from google/alicloud/amazon..e.g
some become provider. most well known and expensive was rixcloud
