You should ask about placements for both programs and see where you'd rather end up. I think Hong Kong is a more productive university research wise, but if your goal is to teach in Australia maybe staying "local" is best?
Which one should I go to guys (Aussie Chinese from Melbourne background)? I should have applied to USA but I didnt realise the preference for USA grads....
I don wanna live like a poor guy for 4 years and then be jobless or worse settle for a non phd job....![]()

I'm from Australia originally and am starting a US PhD this fall. I can tell you that the way the Aussie job market is going it is very likely that many of the top Australian universities will no longer hire local graduates anymore. I can tell you in my field (Finance), many of the top schools have already moved that way.If I were you I'd pick the foreign option- HK or if you have the time to think about reapplying next year to US programs.
