Q: how to change store location of my apple id

My icloud login is followed invariably by a pop up which tells me "your icloud login is only valid for the Hong Kong App Store so you will be directed there..."  This often leads to a failure to get what I want e.g. a software update download.

Question: How can I, once and for all, have my icloud email login associated with one of the main App Stores e.g. USA or London?

Advice appreciated !

    You may only have access for the store where you legally reside and can provide an acceptable payment method associated with that country. Someone in HK cannot access the UK or US store.
