yes, this. although your modesty is understating it a lot...the majority of the non-HK crew are still based in HK! The outport crew as a % of total is not big, and shrinking still. The main point is outport crew have nothing to do with having diversity, as I think the other poster was referring to. The crew for diversity purposes are all based in HK. The outport crews are all hired mostly for cost measures.

Definitely HK base. There are a few Caucasian flight attendants based in HK. To my knowledge, CX does not recruit Europeans to HK base, like they do with the other countries in Asia.
