Ahh, in that case I agree that HKers, or even better Uighurs, would be well placed. But my impression was that 80k etc.’s concerns about China mainly revolved around things like improving Western-Chinese coordination to reduce the risk of war, AI race or climate change, rather than human rights. I would think that putting pressure on them for human rights abuses would be likely to make this worse, as the CCP views such activism as an attack on their system. It is hard to cooperate with someone if they are denouncing you as evil and funding your dissidents.

Working on human rights were just an example, because of the comparison you raised, it could also be CSET type work.
