Make a VPN service, market it in China, put this code into the control/account panel, sell data to Chinese government.

And no, how much it could be monetized certainly shouldn't factor into lowering the bounty. Maybe when raising it, since you need to be competing with the black market, but an exploit should be valued only on how much damage it could cause, and getting people disappeared for watching anti-government videos sounds like pretty big damage.

> ...sell data to Chinese government.

I think this part is probably pretty hard and is certainly risky.

Or just sell the exploit on the dark net, where a Chinese state-sponsored hacker would surely find it and buy it. I'm certain China has a pile of crypto somewhere intended for just that.
