Is https safe enough for sensitive data if data's being sent through an unknown VPN? (zerobytes.monster)

Not a cybersecurity expert by any means.

Right now I'm in China and need to access things like financial investing accounts and tools, some of which are blocked by China's Great Firewall.

The only VPN services that work reliably and are fast are from small Chinese or Russian companies. European or North American VPN companies always have unreliable connections.

Every time I use an online financial tool it's after I'm logged in and through HTTPS, but all this internet traffic is sent through these Chinese or Russian VPN servers.

Do I have anything to worry about sending this potentially sensitive information through HTTPS encryption and having it land (or even stored unbeknownst to me) on these foreign servers?
