pings to some chinese servers have impressively decreased at some point over the past 1-2 years!

from western europe region.
[In case you also wondered why suddenly chinese servers are totally cluttering your serverbrowser even in the 150 ping region now aswell (when you sort servers by ping), and not anymore just cluttering the entire bottom of your serverbrowser as it used to be.]
152 ! located in Jinan (or Beijing) - https://www.battlemetrics.com/servers/squad/20964764
several other server with same ping region, reported to be either in Weifang, Jinan or Beijing. (full list, sorted by distance from you: https://www.battlemetrics.com/servers/squad?minPlayers=1&countries=CN&status=online&sort=distance )
comparing all the individual distance variables, there currently are a WHOPPING 9 (NINE) different Squad-server locations in China! This is very impressive, considering that several videogames (that feature the chinese soldiers) are entirely banned over there!
Does anyone know which modernisation work is responsible for these low pings? Is it related to this in any way? http://www.xinhuanet.com/english/2021-04/21/c_139896556.htm
The more they keep upgrading their internet-hardware (cluttering our serverbrowsers), the MORE urgent we need a COUNTRY filter in our serverbrowser!! xD Pleeeease please! We NEED it now!!! I'm serious!
