My point was that there were tartans associated with military units in China, regardless of who wore them or how they were/are worn. I'm a military historian by trade, and the Scottish Regiments of the British Commonwealth are of great interest to me, as well as the Gurkhas. My grandfather, who served in China during WWII with the US Army Air Force, was a great admirer of the Gurkhas.
But I should point out that the HKVDF and the old Royal HK Regiment were not all European in terms of membership.
Here is the web site for the Beijing Caledonian Society:

Apologies for mis-identifying it as a St. Andrew's Society.
