If you are a foreign national living in Hong Kong without proper documentation, then you are an illegal alien. You should discuss your situation with Hong Kong immigration authorities.
2 :
You must have a job and the employer willing to sponsor your wroking visa, otherwise it's better that you leave Hong Kong as soon as possible than being captured and deported. It's not to your interest to just hide and work as an illegal alien, you'll likely get exploited and not paid for the job as happened to all illegal immigrants around the world. Hong Kong can be a very expensive place to stay without job, my advice find a employer or else go home.
3 :
You are illegal immigrant. you have to move through local attorney
4 :
Illegal economic migrants like you not only defame your own home country but also give it a bad repute. Go back where you belong to and immigrate through a proper & legal process.

im pretty sure you should be able to since there are language options. theres no worry about apps. the only thing is that you may have to pay $20 for the mail, notes, maps, stocks if the phone isn't 1.1.4 firmware when you get it.

Do people in Hong Kong, China & Taiwan work on Saturdays
Do people in Hong Kong, China & Taiwan work on Saturdays?
I am calling companies in China, Hong kong & Taiwan to find a right manufacturer for a certain product we need. Just trying to get an idea if it is worth my time to call these factories on saturday?

There is no definite answer to your question. Just like what the first answerer posted, some companies might work on Sundays but that is not very common. Some companies open on Saturday either half or full day, but some choose to have alternate or every Saturday off. Why don't you call Mon-Fri or contact them by email first.
3 :
In Mainland China the workers that work for Chinese companies work 7 days a week or at least 6 that being Sat. In Taiwan and Hong Kong they have Sat off unless it is a service job that is open 7 days a week like Mc Donald's. I lived in Mainland China and watched so many people work 7 days a week from day break to dark.
4 :
In China, many factories and manufacturers work six or seven days a week. If you are trying to call the mainland this week (May 1), then you should know that it's a holiday time period. Many places will be closed, at minimum, May 1, 2 and 3. Some a bit longer. Some places may close all week long, depending upon the owner, etc. Hard to say as this year, the May 1 holiday is not a "golden week" in my part of the country. In spite of that, many professors cancelled classes, etc., and many shops are closed so that people could travel. Regardless of location, everyone should be back working full strength by May 10.
5 :
No, Saturdays and Sundays are off days. But if the manufacture has good business,or emergency orders, they will work 7 days a week, 24 hours, shift around.
6 :
Most Chinese manufacturing companies have marketing staff available 7 days per week. Call between 0900 and 1800 China Standard Time (CST).
7 :
In China and Hong Kong it varies between companies. Many of the big cities in China require that staff work on saturday for half a day (which means they do nothing on that day). Hong Kong is similar. Sales people are working long hours and often communicate with email and mobile phones, which means they are effectively on call 24 hours a day. I would say wait until monday, because a saturday call might get a quick response, while on monday they will take the time and effort to do this work properly (just like I avoiding calling companies with complex enquiries on a Friday, because they often have forgetten in by monday)
8 :
In Hong Kong, usually Saturdays are off. Some will have half-day or alternative Saturdays e.g. this Saturday could be a working day, and next weeks' Saturday is off-day, followed by another week with work again etc. Usually sales / marketing offices are up to Saturdays, for production or manufacturing office, the work could go 7days/week and depending on the load of orders. As for Taiwan, I'm not sure, you better ask it on Taiwan section.
9 :
in HK, we 5 & a half day. means work half day til 1pm on Sat. n off at pm + SUN whole day. but some USA, Europe co. in HK just work 5 days. depends...... n in china, most of the ofc work 6 full days. just off SUN. taiwan abt the same as HK.

Moving back home to USA, leaving behind Hong Kong and China Debt. Any consequences
Moving back home to USA, leaving behind Hong Kong and China Debt. Any consequences?
I'm a USA citizen but currently living and working in Hong Kong until mid-summer. I have a few loans from Chinese banks, what happens if I move back home to the USA this summer and never return to China again and completely ignore all debt with the Chinese banks? I realize that I'll have trouble returning to China but I'm not planning on ever returning (as you know the USA and China's credit system are completely independent from each other). Thanks.

I think you'd be safe unless they send the ninjas...but that probably depends on how much you owe
4 :
A debt collection agency might track you down. The FBI would certainly investigate your case and you might be extradited (sent back via the gov) because not paying off debts is illegal. Just because you are moving from a country doesn't mean your debts are nullified. If you would like to spend 30 years in a Chinese prison, I would recommend you don't pay off those debts.

Well, then you will inherit the karma of someone ripping you off in the future. Character is how someone acts when they think no one will find out. You just pretty much laid out what your character is.
6 :
you are good to go! Banks are stupid, that's why so many people go around and legally rob them. I once made 500 grand by going to about 15 different countries and get loans that I never repaid. Dude are you kidding, they will find you and you will have to repay it. Unless you like to pay for everything in cash and don't plan on having any kind of loan ever again.
7 :
They will track you down. China might not, HK will as they have a very structured and stable banking system.
8 :
This is an very interesting. Legally, you are obligated to the debts. But depending on the amount of the debts, the creditors may or may not make their efforts to track you down. More and more Chinese banks go international. They team up with some collection agents in the States to take care of delinquency accounts. Now they are focusing on certain big accounts only.
