Thank you @asd_f, I am well aware that they are 2 different countries. My assertion was based on this interview of Binance CEO which claims it was based in HK at the time.
However, it seems that this article I posted 2 months ago is outdated now as I’ve heard they have moved their IP elsewhere to an “offshore location”, the British Virgin Islands and other locations. Is Cardano going to be delisted from Hong Kong exchanges? - #4 by Bullish
In response to China’s decisions, we are moving our IP’s from Hong Kong to an offshore location. So we are registered in multiple locations and we have people in multiple locations. That way we will never be affected by one regulatory body,” explained Binance CEO Zhao.

Why would they move their IP outside of HK in response to China’s decisions if as you claim they don’t fall under Chinese regulations in HK?
