Interesting theory.

Perhaps you should look at https://www.TheWorld.com/~bzs

Nope, knew nothing off-hand about them but wikipedia seems to concur
that Zerohedge is likely a "Russian asset". Thanks.

Nonetheless it doesn't particularly mean that 99% of HK traffic
*doesn't* go thru that facility, not alone.

Broad comparisons to other national internet structures as you appeal
to seems to be questionable in regards to a Special Administrative
Region of The People's Republic of China, albeit officially ruled
under "one system, two ways", HK being one of the regions (Macau being
the other) which is ruled under the "second" way.

China can be unique in their communications policies and practices.

Which is why I asked hoping someone knew the facts rather than had an
opinion about the particular source or some theory unifying all
national internet infrastructures under some simple rule of thumb.
