As I'm sure you know, Macau and Hong Kong are operated independently of China in almost all regards, except national defense. Things like radio spectrum licenses are handled locally, and the markets have developed their own set of independent carriers. For whatever reason, T-Mobile must not be able to get a favorable-enough pricing from the Macau carriers in order to offer their new pricing. I don't think it's a matter of how many Americans go or don't go there. Take a look at Bahamas - there are probably far more Americans that visit there than Hong Kong, yet it's not on the T-Mobile list.
