Hi Pascal,=20
A friendly fyi from a former China and HK surveyor and colocator:
Topologically, China and Hong Kong are not the same place at all; in =
fact for some/many requirement-site pairings, Hong Kong may not not even =
be the closest place to China.
I don't think it's possible to be both sufficiently-informed about =
operating conditions in the region and completely ambivalent about the =
China vs. HK choice at the same time.
Best of luck with your search,=20
