is the cause of this problem.

What is the best way to address this problem?

For exit selection, tag the routes you want to influence with a
community and then apply a higher localpref to routes from that community.

if inbound is also coming from asia you should explore prepending
towards that provider via provider communities or in your advertisement
directly (the later obviously is gross)
