Unfortunately the marketing agency is Ctrip and the accomodation purchase is done within China, so I don't see how Ctrip can be dragged into EOC HK.

Furthermore, Ctrip (being a Chinese company) can say it is only favouring locals from its point of view.
Race and nationality are two different things.
