Surely there must be engineer and software graduates from HK.

There are loads of those. But most of them either find jobs in the U.S. legitimately or move to Shenzhen.
My dad managed a team based out in HK Science Park when the company he worked for was one of the first in Asia to get into quant trading. His team managed to draw talent from western educated programmers and engineers (quite a strong South East Asia presence in the team, dad would always wax poetic about his Vietnamese and Singaporean programmers) in addition to locally produced graduates, particularly from HKUST and HKU. In fact dad and his team were invited by the HK government to serve on a judge panel for an annual competition where local universities would send teams to compete to present business+tech solutions as part of the HK governments initiatives to promote STEM.

how easy for HKers to move and get a job in China?
If you were a mainland employer, would you hire HK youth?
A lot easier than most people think - plenty of people I went to school with in Hong Kong either work up in the Mainland, or end up working between offices across the country as well as in Hong Kong.
If the individual in question is competent, why not?

I suppose these people's mentality toward China is unlike those who had been demonstrating in the streets of Hong Kong.
Sorta learnt early on to keep my mouth shut, especially when my opinion tends to be unpopular. So I was somewhat surprised to find out the past year or so how many people actually shared my perspective and disdain for the state of affairs. Makes me sound somewhat snobbish, but I guess I went to one of the "top tier" schools where my classmates tend to come from families that are major figures in government, business, the justice system... Basically social elites that decided to stay after the Handover. I guess that sort of family upbringing comes with a respect for the Motherland and a better understanding/insight of the CCP's plans for Hong Kong.
Our school actually does the whole flag raising ceremony shebang and actually placed somewhat of an emphasis (still not enough imho) on national education, and we did have a language policy that states that we are encouraged to communicate in either English or Mandarin outside of the classroom on school grounds. When the demonstrations broke out and some students started protesting on campus, our alumni association was one of the first that wrote a letter both to the current student body as well as to the general public condemning the acts of the students. I used to tell my folks I'm terrified for when my generation comes into power, but with how things have been unfolding since the signing of the NSL I suppose my generation isn't completely fxxked, and there might still be hope for Hong Kong after all.

China should table a resolution to add America to the list to countries that state sponsor terrorism. Will get veto’d, but would allow China to catalogue American interference in HK for the world to see.
