Why are flights to east Asia half as expensive as to Europe?

Why are flights to east Asia half as expensive as to Europe?
I live in Western Canada, and the distances from where I live to the east coast of Asia and the west coast of Europe are both about 8000 km. However, all other things held constant, flights to Europe are about 2 times the cost as flights to Asia. Why is this?
