Guys... here is a reply about it from CathayP.
Dear Mr. **********
Thank you for your interest in the Cadet Pilot Programme.
Please be advised that the Cadet Pilot Programme is only open to Hong Kong residents who have obtained the Hong Kong Identity Card. The objective for Cathay Pacific to institute this programme is to give an opportunity for local people to enter the aviation industry. Therefore, to be a Hong Kong resident is a prime requirement.
Best Regards,
Flight Crew Recruitment (Cadet Pilot)
Cathay Pacific Airways
Make of it what you will..
