It was the GFS aircraft. It did multiple passes of High Island area around the time of the thunderstorms.
These aircraft also do aerial photography/mapping.

Yup, it's GFS. Look like they were doing slow flight and making 360s at 1000ft@180kts. Maybe they were taking pictures of the boats after the whole chinese coastguard and fishing boat thing.
The plane was likely engaged in catching and deterring NSL political "criminals":

Not sure if this is related.... Am a bit clueless about where the 12 were caught.

^Hmm the 12 were arrested on Aug 23 and OP saw the jet on Sep 2 so maybe not related?
Given the reaction from Lam, I guess they are related.

So I guess you can expect to continue to see government planes doing loops around HK waters on the lookout....
