Technically that’s not true per the HK Basic Law. https://www.basiclaw.gov.hk/en/basiclawtext/
Article 8, 11, and 18 address this

National laws shall not be applied in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region except for those listed in Annex III to this Law. The laws listed therein shall be applied locally by way of promulgation or legislation by the Region.”
