Sophomore FoF or PE?

Long time lurker, first time poster.
Background: top school in China (APAC), CICC IBD + Top 10 IB (Think regional boutique).

Wants to break into the IB game but unsure if sophomore summer internships matter as much as I think.

So here are a couple options,
1 - CICC IBD Summer (Just a simple ball-crushing soul-draining IB internship)
2 - Top Global FoF (Think Ardian)
3 - Up and coming regional PE/VC (they’re a pe that focus on earlier rounds)

Which would help the most for me to break into BB or even MFs in APAC?
