China isn't Hong Kong, not entirely anyway. Pretty sure in Hong Kong nobody gets killed for comitting white collar crime such as fraud.
Pretty sure the Brits gave HK to the Chinese about a decade or so ago. So, I'd say they are governed by Beijing and must follow Beijing's rules...
They have autonomy for 50 years after 1997. 100% sure there is no death sentence in Hong Kong whereas there is in China. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Use_of_capital_punishment_by_country Hong Kong is not China. Not yet anyway.
They returned Hong Kong (not gave). Hong Kong is a Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) that belongs to China. Hong Kong continues operating with its own laws (carried over by the British System common law system). They do not follow Beijing rules, although the president of HK is heavily influenced by top chinese officials. Slam
