The swastika was not too uncommon in Hong Kong in the 1930s. At Kai Tak the Lufthansa proving flights between Berlin and Tokyo carried a swastika on the tail fin. This SCMP image is from 2 May 1939. Similar aircraft of the German-Chinese airline Eurasia also displayed the swastika for a period until the Chinese government requested their removal.
