You may want to try ParslePy, it combines CSS/XPath functionality, allowing you to declaratively specify the selector paths in a JSON file. I just made a PR to allow YAML over JSON, but not sure if Pip picked up on it yet.
They then demonstrate a sample query on this dataset, called 'connection mining', identifying people who have enough data in common with a given person.
Now, although the Datanami article does not particularly state the Beijing government as making use of TigerGraph's services, it does mention his clients as including 2 Chinese state-owned companies, State Grid and China Mobile.
Given it's been established his clientele includes Chinese state-owned companies and no-one but the Chinese government has the data described in this 'Social Graph' data set though, let's say this may have been made for Beijing. Sounds like they might be using this query to track dissidents by association.
