Fewer SA spots and more FT spots in IBD in Hong Kong?

I heard that, unlike in the US where typically BBs hire many more SAs than they offer FT positions to, in Hong Kong there are actually more FT positions (or at least you are not as screwed if you didn't intern at a BB over the summer). Can anyone familiar with HK recruitment confirm/refute this? Many thanks.
