And this is a completely different thing than saying that 99% of HKG traffic passes through HKIX. Written this way it 
may as well be true since it only means that it neatly complements whatever transit and private peering arrangements 
the local operators have.
Exercise for the reader:
- find out who the local access providers are
- find where they peer and at what capacity
- find who gives them transit
- try some traceroutes

After this you'll concur with my original assessment about the nitrates content of the statement at subject
