I have friends working in southern China, around and near Hong Kong. Masks are not required, they haven't been required for months.
Unlike the USA, they have a choice to NOT wear a mask.
COVID is passe in southern China.

your friends are lying to you. Currently in China not wearing a mask will put you in jail. The exception is if you are outdoors and with friends you can go without a mask. However if you are going to come in contact with others they must be worn such as a market. People can remain mask-free as long as they stay at least one metre apart in a well-ventilated space.
Did they also mention before entering buildings they will do temperature checks?

Which breaks down to about 823/month or 27/day.
