Ivan, honestly, are you saying that an Aussie has just got a Z visa in HK? The site is outdated, and, now, foreign teachers are being refused Zs in HK as far as I know. If it matters what province on mainland China they come to apply from the Z there, then I am sorry. From Guangdong, to my knowledge, it is NO. Foreign teachers are being routinely directed to their homelands, but again forgive my source of so few people.

If Ivan is correct, then this country is yet again proving to have two or two billion systems. I wouldn't be surprised, and I also wouldn't be surprised if some posters on are recruiters rather than teachers with all due respect to all. By the way, I have seen recruiters teaching too. :)

Cheers and beers to all of us
