Why are you moving the goalposts? You said that latency would be less, if traffic leaving RUnet were to go via China instead of via Finland... which is an objectively false statement.

Even your new statement is illogical; traffic intended for Asia will already be routing in that direction instead of going into Europe first.

I implore you to read up more on how Internet routing works, as it's actually very interesting stuff. And yes, as I said, this will have very little impact on Russians.
