Thanks everyone for the replies. My conclusion is that no one here knows whether HKIX handles 99% of internet traffic for HK or not.

No more than any other site. Most IXPs may have a significant amount of traffic but it’s certainly not all of the traffic in a market. Generally I’ve seen that private interconnects in major cities (like HK) are more than the public (IXP) interconnects. Anyone claiming 99% of a market unless they’re the monopoly incumbent last-mile provider i treat with a properly sized piece of salt. - Jared
