OT: APAC circuit costs

I am hoping to ask some questions of an enterprise network engineer/manager who knows a bit about circuit costs in APAC. Specifically, I have a vendor telling me a WAN link from Beijing to SanFran is cheaper than Beijing to almost anywhere else in APAC: Singapore, Hong Kong, Sydney and Tokyo. Just looking for someone to contact me off the list and confirm whether that is actually the case.... Thanks! -BM
