If you're an employee, the company will have to do all the usual withholdings and remit them to the governments (Federal and State) through some US entity (branch, subsidiary, etc.). If they don't have a US presence other than you, they'll probably pay you as a contractor, in which case you become responsible for filing all the necessary taxes and withholdings.

Staying in Hong Kong for 2 to 3 months a year doesn't "break" your US residence. It's considered a business trip - which may result in some deductible business expenses, depending on how your employer handles things.
