If you want some others to share your cost of VPS without giving them root access, just resell them a VPN service managed by you. This way, you remain the only person with root access.

How about a UDP forwarding service, instead of a VPN service?

China - expensive VPS - cheap VPS
WireGuard runs between China and (private) cheap VPS.
The (shared) expensive VPS has good routing to China but only ever sees encrypted traffic.

Whoever has root on the expensive VPS cannot see plaintext traffic.
The worst they can do are (1) deleting the UDP forwarding to cause an outage, (2) DDoSing your cheap VPS.

It's better then sister being married to someone you do know, like your cousin! (Sweet Home Alabama)

Get a wife/girlfriend, then they WILL eat your fastfood after saying they are not hungry and do not want to eat any fastfood tonight...
