8.80P TP connect and then 3.96 p per minute.

bt are still 1p per minute.. not sure what it is to connect

Have you tried signing up to www.18185.co.uk and using their 0808 (Free) access number for non-BT callers, China is 2p/min using that. I suggest setting up Direct Debit rather than Credit Card billing as you have more control. I have used them for years with no issue.
