No, unfortunately I don't know them.  But I think at least one of them
was introduced to you by Jeff Tantsura recently?

Now that the Chinese can travel again, I'm sure they will show up at
IETF meetings.  So that would be a possibility to meet them.  Personally
I don't think I'll be going to any IETF meetings outside of Europe
though.  (But definitely we should all go to the Prague meeting! :-)

Sounds great!
