Well NO as no one can get the required flying experience in Hong Kong, so anyone from HK who has learned to fly obviously went abroad and therefore became an expat as he applied from overseas, as I said if this same person applied from HK CX would probably offer him local conditions. There are a few guys who lived in HK as kids but left and came back as expats (non Chinese) and there are some who left and then came back to join the cadet programme as Locals.(Chinese and round eyes) There is a Malaysian guy who was hired as an expat but he had been flying 737s with Malaysian.
