The re-init feature would have sped that up. Depending on the gps (check the manual) it could take up to 15 minutes to localize itself after a reinit.
I doubt that it is an intentional degradation. I understand it is quite difficult to disable the gps constellation for specific regions. And the military relies on gps worldwide.

On my Garman Etrex Vista, I've needed to tell it that I've changed location so it will do a new search. I can also move a pointer in the display to the approximate location where I'm standing and it will re-search for the satellites.
I believe that GPS uses 1.5GHz.
Which technology uses 1.2GHz in Hong Kong? Is this used for video?

I certainly don't think it has anything to do with the lack ot technology
in the part of China you were in, and the fact that Hong Kong is
technilogically advanced should't make it more possible to track satelites.
I wonder if all the cell phone and 1.2 gig interference in Hong Kong would
make it harder to track the satelites, but maybe someone else can chime in on
that one.
