Common questions
No visa-free waiver should be assumed from the sources found. The sourced Djibouti rules do not list ordinary Chinese passports as visa-exempt; short tourist or business visitors should obtain a Djibouti eVisa. I found no Djibouti official or Timatic-derived source granting a waiver based on holding a U.S. visa.
Generally no. Hong Kong Immigration Department lists Djibouti among visa-free or visa-on-arrival destinations for HKSAR passports with a 14-day stay; the Djibouti visa-policy page also cites that Hong Kong government source for 14-day visa-free entry.
A U.S. ordinary passport is not in the sourced visa-exempt list; a Djibouti eVisa is available for short tourist or business visits. Wikipedia, citing Djibouti eVisa materials, states that eVisa is only for tourism or commerce and that short-stay eVisa is available for 15 to 90 days.
