The last time I looked into gini coefficient was in undergrad and found that the gini coefficient isn't an apples to apples comparison because each country calculates it a bit differently.
Also I think HK doesn't account for individualized income in their calc, only household in aggregate. So a 10-person household earning $400k HKD is considered very high income compared to a 1-person household earning $200k HKD.
As an extreme example, the UAE's gini coefficient says there is low income inequality (better than Canada) which is very sus.
