5 years ago when I was in Uzbekistan (my wife is from Tashkent), I did
some traces and they mostly went through China. I heard that most of the
ISPs in Uzbekistan go through one central ISP and then through China
from there. I've also heard of some of the other countries going through
China. But again, that might be out of date information.
Perhaps they have changed since then due to China's great firewall
practices.
