Guys, I'm not saying it did'nt happen but an extremely unlikely scenario in general, and especially at the moment.
The major Chinese airlines are all operating on handouts from the government, China eastern just reported a huge loss, so I am pretty sure they won't be looking for low hour non type rated pilots.
The pay is low in China and the tax high, and they have ridiculously high bonds ( yes I know there are expats in China earning 12-15K USD/month, they had 1000s of hours on type and usually jet command time also, it is not the norm )
Hong Kong wise, forget it, even the bottom feeders HKA/HKE will need more than 700 hrs and they don't seem to be hiring westerners ( or anyone ) at present.

Yeh, I would love to know the name of the " certain Chinese airline "
