HK was offered a spot after NZ pulled out. However, a lot of the team are currently still in quarantine after returning from the Asia Championships. The Thomas and Uber Cup were not planned this year and getting a team together at such short notice was logistically difficult.

The focus for the HK team this year is the Asian Games. HK must get a medal there in order to retain its funding as an elite sport in HK.

It will be an uphill task for HK team to get a medal at Asian Games. Aside from XD, I don't see they have any chance in other disciplines.

I wonder who is the favourite for ThomasCup (in betting sites)?

I didn't check but Indonesia always perform well in team competitions. Somehow their below par representatives will play well and in this edition, the singles department.

Asian Games will not be held in this year.
 
I would not underestimate China. I think they have 2nd most likely to win after Indonesia. They always can turn an unknown to a quite good players. Denmark and Japan probably the other 2 that have chance to win it. The rest like Thailand, India, Malaysia and Taiwan not enough backups that can surprise and Korea may be able to produce surprise like they always do in team competition but hard to see them winning.

In Uber, even worse with Indonesia and Malaysia decide to concentrate on Sea Games and sending not the top squad. The top 4 would unlikely be challenged and should go to semifinal easily. Only in semi there might be some close ties
