I'll half agree. This seems to me to just be a case of incompetent design rather than intentional evil. It's not a good solution but it's a workable solution--but whoever did it didn't realize it didn't need to be applied in Hong Kong.

QQ DNS servers are available in HK and the Mainland, Google servers are available only in HK. A significant fraction of phones bought in HK end up in the mainland so it's prudent to pick the most interoperable option.
