7 year contract? That would only be valid if CX fulfilled their side too, which is highly unlikely. Assuming they don't piss you off to the point of leaving in your first year, you can break your contract with 3 months notice, which is a lot more notice than many places in the world. You are not allowed to be bonded for any period of time in Hong Kong - don't let the management weenies (Ronnie1992) on here fool you. He is right though, management never wants you to make a million dollars, so why would you want to be a pilot!!! You are just a factor of production here - don't do it!
