You pay no money for the TR upfront it's a bond which is a great attribute to the t's and c's .
Bonds are not legal and if signed, not enforceable in HK.
On the other hand life in HK is pretty good. You will hardly experience another place where, as an expat, you be respected, and feel as free and safe as HK.
It's good and you will be respected - providing you have money. And with that, I think we're back to the start of this thread.
