In general there are marked diurnal changes. There is a slight increase in RTTs following the Chinese New Year January 25th 2020. Then there is a small step reduction in RTTs March 10, 2020, followed by an increase in the packet losses starting March 18th 2020.

...

If we look at the daily aggregates for the packet loss per cent, average RTT and Inter Packet Delay Variation www.hbmy.edu.cn and www.hbuathuat.edu.cn from 3/23/2019 thru 3/21/2020  and then expand to see the subset from 1/1/2020 thru 3/21/2020 we get the plots below.
