If I take off my China-hating hat, the entry restrictions into HK for China vs rest of world are roughly identical:

HK Permanent Residents:
- Unconditional Stay admitted throughout, subject to whatever home quarantine and/or swab tests Govt has specified

China:
- G簽 (Group visa) and L簽 (7-day visitor visa) issuance suspended on the NIA end at HKSARG's request
- 7-day transit visa suspended (either China-HK-overseas or overseas-HK-China)
- long-term work visas, S簽 (study visas), T簽 (family reunion visas) and one-way permits still admitted, subject to home quarantine

Rest of world:
- visitor visa-exemptions and visas suspended
- "HK residents" (i.e. anyone with a > 180 day visa) still admitted, subject to home quarantine and swab tests
