I haven't cared about the Hugos since well before it stopped being possible I might win one.
This is worth noting, though. Not a particular surprise: cowardice in the face of a dictatorship prone to disappearing people is comprehensible. Nothing to write home about, but the initial mistake was having it in China. Doing business with totalitarians is always a mistake.
Might be saying something similar down the road about the U.S., of course.
