Job Placement in North America/Europe with a Hong Kong PhD

[G_speed]

Hi all! I've recently been awarded the Hong Kong PhD Fellowship Scheme to get a social science PhD at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. It's a great personal choice for many reasons (faculty, funding, location, proximity to field site), but since it's more of an up-and-coming program, its placement track record is not great, and I'm definitely concerned about job prospects, especially in the US and UK. Still, it's where most of my excitement is, so I'd love to take the offer as long as it's not like 100% career suicide.

I know next to nothing about the mileage one gets with a PhD from a Hong Kong-based university, so I'm curious to hear from some folks who have experienced the job market with one. Thanks!
