Does anyone know of ppl training in a US med school and residency and actually move to Asia to practice?

Which specialty has the flexibility and demand in China, Taiwan, or Hong Kong?

Are there practice groups that cater to Ex-Pats?

I don't know specifically for China, Taiwan or Hong Kong but I know that in Japan and South Korea you have to pass their medical boards in the local language before you are allowed to practice. Just like in the US, doctors have alot of prestige so they have no shortage of MDs in the locations you listed above, so there are alot of barriers to entry for foreign docs wanting to practice there.

But hey, I don't want to discourage you. When I was in Japan I saw 1 Turkish surgeon working, he had phenomenal language ability though.

I'm a first-year in New York.

I'm in China right now doing some research over the summer.

I'm interested in this same thing.

I am going to shadow a Western doctor who got her degree in Canada and did residency in California and is now working as a pediatrician at (from what I understand) a predominantly expat hospital in Shanghai.

I'm shadowing mid-July, but I'd be happy to ask any questions that you might have while I'm there.

Yeah I was looking into expat 'western' Shanghai hospitals, they staff with many US trained doctors, wonder how easy the transition is if im only fluent in speaking mandarin...

I also saw a post of what their salaries look like: 2-3 yr contract, $3500USD/month

not sure if i interpreted it correctly, I guess if you have a chance to find out I'll be glad to know, thank-you

I don't really follow this part of your post. I don't think that any Chinese language ability is required at the expat hospitals. The doc I'm shadowing doesn't speak any Chinese, let alone read.

I worked at one in Shanghai for a long time. They cater to expats for sure, but expat doesn't just mean American, or even Western. It mostly means non-Chinese Asians, like Singaporeans, Japanese, etc. Shanghai is a place where it's really nice to have some Chinese (Mandarin is fine, Shanghainese is good if you're really serious), but it's not really necessary. There's a number of expat pockets where English is basically the first language.
