Looks like HK will allow apps. which hail taxis, including one backed by Uber, but not the Uber app. itself.
Two new apps. launching there this month, including the eTaxi app supposedly backed by Uber?:

The comments are interesting. Widespread hate for taxis and a reported 16% drop in ridership.
No wonder the govt. will do anything to protect them. HK is held up as the model of capitalism but it's obviously motivated by medallions to suppress competition.
