Perhaps the US State Department might be inclined to help?

If you're paying $30000 for a site that is pretty much all static in bandwidth costs a day, you're probably paying about $29990 too much.

2.6 billion requests per hour will do that to you

Route them through a cached captcha page. Or just call cloudflare.

Are you using Cloudflare?

A lot of CloudFlare IPs are blocked by the chinese firewall, for a site that's primarily aimed at chinese users probably not an option.

Edit: I don't actually know if this is still true and on what scale, I just know that's it's true for a website I use according to chinese users.
