Looking for a job, please advise

I am a Russian/Canadian citizen, working as a Sales Country Manager for a well-known Japanese electronics company in Moscow, MBA from USA, many years in this field. Previously managed representative office of another Japanese electronics company in Moscow. Naturally, know everybody in this business. Fluent English and Russian, but no Cantonese.
I would like to relocate to HK and to find a job there. Probably with a large Chinese company, considering increasing its business in C.I.S. and Eastern Europe. I will not consider anything less then $120,000 net per annum.
1. Is it realistic?
2. What is the best strategy to start with? Contact local headhunters, come to HK and try to contact companies directly? Thanks for any useful advice.

You're going to have to get to HK and network within your industry. Assuming that the decision makers within this industry are located in Hong Kong. You're going to find that trust is a very hard thing to gain in a few short weeks, unless you come down to HK with glowing references and introductions.
