You’re describing a CDN. You can’t afford it.
I’d look more into boosting whatever your uplink is versus trying to distribute to localized users.

The uplink isn’t the problem as it works for viewers in Europe.

Uplink is exactly the problem. Not sure why you think otherwise. The internet doesn’t work by multicast.

Maybe we don’t talk about the same. The uplink at his router isn’t the problem, there is enough upload speed so that others in Europe can stream. Users in Asia don’t have enough bandwidth, so there’s a bottleneck somewhere in between.
And yes, a VPN could help by routing the traffic through other hops, but chances are that it doesn’t help or even make it worse, but it’s worth trying.

It’s probably not bandwidth but latency and packet loss that’s the problem.

Bandwidth does not degrade over distance. That’s not how that works…
Again, I’m confused on what you’re suggesting the actual issue is here.
