Whilst agreeing absolutely with your disdain for utter verbal diarrhea like "fully ready", "fully established", "THE Speedbird" and " heading 275 DEGREES(!)", I have to set you straight on the Departure release procedures in HK.
Hong Kong (and Macau) operate auto-release procedures into HK airspace. Under normal circumstances, HK Tower can fire traffic unrestricted to 5000 ft, and Macau Tower (via Zhuhai APP) to 6000 ft via LKC, at any time, without coordination, with the required inter-departure spacing.
