Cathay Hong Kong Pilots Lowest Paid?

Can someone please check my numbers cause this doesn't seem right!

I took first year passenger fleet Captain pay for comparison and current exchange rates as of today.

1st year passenger fleet Captain monthly salary

Hong Kong Based HKD 101,326

Europe Based GBP 8,158 = HKD 126,755

Australian Based AUD 16,786 = HKD 121,755

US Based USD 15,130 = HKD 117,777

Canadian Based CAD 15,665 = HKD 123,351

New Zealand Based NZD 20,860 = HKD 130,281

So are we being paid less being based in Hong Kong or have I miscalculated because this doesn't seem right? I thought being based in Hong Kong was supposed to attract a premium?
