### Summary

Accessing it from Hong Kong or Taiwan will redirect you to mirrors located in 
China (e.g. mirrors.ustc.edu.cn), which is hard to access (and they are even 
effectively blocking access outside China, probably by 
[GFW](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Firewall)).

### Steps to reproduce

e.g. Access https://download.gnome.org/sources/NetworkManager-iodine/cache.json 
from Taiwan or Hong Kong. I use ProtonVPN to test.

### What is the current bug behavior?

It's effectively redirected to 
https://mirrors.ustc.edu.cn/gnome/sources/NetworkManager-iodine/cache.json (I 
tested it in Firefox). And by `curl`:

````

```

Then, the redirected access is timeout.

### What is the expected correct behavior?

Traffic from Taiwan and Hong Kong should be redirect to local mirrors (if any) 
or mirrors outside China


### Relevant logs and/or screenshots

(Paste any relevant logs - please use code blocks (```) to format console 
output,
logs, and code as it's very hard to read otherwise.)
