Funny, I feel oppositely - Live in the USA, probably never going back to PRC, am not "overseas Chinese" and don't have family in vulnerable jurisdictions (though maybe those include some less developed African and Asian countries not just PRC). So if the CCP wanted to make trouble for me it would be a large and probably unsuccessful effort (real trouble meaning beyond remote/online harassment). Whereas if the US government wants to make trouble for me, even if they follow the letter of the law re: procedural due process and I eventually prevail, it is likely to be a very bad experience.
