We had an similar experience in Japan.

I wonder if its a microphone issue. I can visualise a bunch of people sitting
around a table, with a conn-call device in the middle, but people not
paying much attention to facing it when they speak.

In any case, I managed to make out perhaps 1/2 of the second half of the
meeting, which was a vast improvement on what I could hear for the first
half.
