Daisy120,
I seem to remember that reading back the QNH was required in Hong Kong as well.At least it was when I was working.
Also in that area there is not a lot of difference in the QNH unless there is a Tropical Depression or Typhoon passing through.However here we have 1032 one week and 975 the next.Also the classic confusers like 998 and 988mb are far more common.
It's a hot topic at the moment.
