In that respect, HK is not really a "beachhead" for the mainland market like it was in the 90's and early 00's.
I totally agree. I don't think HK is the beachhead any more... for a while I would say. Like many major cities in China, Shanghai, Beijing or Hong Kong, ppl are more international and taste and preference tends to be more "common" from a western prospective. However, for the mass majority population in China, the taste and preference is unique.
