Use peertube?

I wonder if that'd work, or if the Great Firewall of China already blocks it in Hong Kong
With Invidious, it would have to block every single accessible instance for that to work. You can proxy the video through the instance to avoid censorship.
tbh, I know little about the capabilities of the Great Firewall. Maybe it already is possible to circumvent it with a VPN or an anonymity network like I2P or TOR. Also don't know if they block per IP or in blocks. Possibly hosting the peertube instance on public cloud infra would make it difficult to block if the IP changed at certain intervals.
Hosting peertube could however provide dissenters with more options than youtube.

Anybody have a VPN link into HK? It'd be easy to find out.
There are 42 RIPE Atlas probes online in Hong Kong.
Someone part of the Atlas network could check this against various probes.
