If you bought the game (Chinese version) and got all that sorted you are already playing on the Asia ladder. The only way to get a stable decent connection is by getting the elusive vip internet, but it's one of those things that have become hard to come by. China Telecom offer(s/ed?) that and it will get you a very solid fast connection to abroad. I have never used a VPN service that is stable/fast/good in China.
Your best bet is to find colleagues or maybe Chinese gamers that will help you out. Pulling strings is huge in Chinese culture (guanxi/face/business swag).
I've lived in China for 2.5 years but sorry to say: the internet situation is what drove me nuts and out.

bbsss is right. Try to connect to China Telecom CN2 Network,or maybe China Unicom Network, you might play on Asia Server in low latency without vpn. Otherwise there is no way but to buy a localized game.
I live in Shanghai and i mainly play on Asia Server. In my personal experience, vpn is not a good option.

In China, there are two main ISPs: China Telecom and China Unicom. From most of my friends' and my own experience, Unicom is better at connecting to foreign server/website.
I have played on KR (Asia) Server in Beijing since the release of WoL, and at most time the ping is acceptable (around 50-90 ms) under Unicom. So you may try to figure out which ISP you are using at first.
Also, there are some VPN service purely focusing on games, such VPN could solve lag issues but it cannot make you access to websites that are banned by Great Fire Wall.
If you are in Beijing, I may help you.

I knew China has Golden Shield (the firewall in China), but most of us should be very lucky to live in a democratic world. Long live democracy!

I am at Shanghai, i tried without vpn China Telecom.. finally Asia Region, in options/region-language says 47ms to taiwan, 140ms to korea which is oke i guess.

I dont know how is eu pings but taiwan seems legit
Also tried Southeast Asia Region, it doesnt show ms, says i am connected to the only server they have..
so if i play @taiwan server, in ladder i am going to match with only taiwan server players right not koreans? (i wanna play with koreans ;p)
thanks btw

Generally you'll be matchmade against local players on that server but the system will also try to search for players on other servers in the region as well. In China you should not have problem playing game on Asian server at all, the ladders are quite populated.

Both taiwan players and koreans.

it seems to be down to ISP and routing. sometimes a VPN can save you but the best thing is to have an ISP that gives you a good connection to both TW and KR servers by default. so try out different things and ask your friends basically. i played on KR/TW server on about 4-5 different ISPs during my stays in China and quality varied a lot. but on average i had about 90ms ping and a low amount of stutters. a pc cafe was just semi-unplayable to kr server, so not all connections/routes are great. but the best connection i tried was about <70ms, basically so smooth that i didn't even care to check what the ping was. so it is possible to get the 'kr server environment' if you find a place/isp/route that's good enough. VPN can help improve ping but most likely not much compared to changing away from a bad ISP

I really don't understand your problem.
The great china firewall has nothing to do with games like sc2. And I don't think it is responsible for the in game lags/spikes. It does prevent you from accessing Youtube/Twitter etc.

It really does. It doesn't block you, but it slows down the connection significantly.
