How can I best position myself to get an IBD job in HK / Shanghai / Beijing ?

Hey all, one of my long-term goals is to work abroad for a couple years while I'm still young and single. My dream job is to work for an investment bank in HK or anywhere in China. I'm a white American, but have been studying Mandarin Chinese for 3 years and have been to China 3 times. I would really love to work in China but getting a job in NY is hard enough.

Any advice (preferably from somebody who has had experience at an HK/China IBD) on how I can best position myself for landing a job in HK out of college? I'm currently at UMich if that helps.

Thanks a million
万分感谢
