It's alot to explain. If could say what particular aspect is of concern to your specific situation then it might give somewhere to start and focus on.

the bit that says:
For the purpose of this Part, "income arising in or derived from Hong Kong" from any employment-...
EXCLUDES income derived from services rendered by "a person who-....IS NOT employed by the Government, or on a ship".
Seems a bit unfair on government employees and sailors don't you think?

You failed to cut and paste the crucial word "AND" followed by part (ii) which is self-explanatory.
(i) is not employed by the Government or as master or member of the crew of a ship or as commander or member of the crew of an aircraft; and
(ii) renders outside Hong Kong all the services in connection with his employment;
