no, most of it is under the control of the ccp. my fiance lives in hong kong, and the very few times she went to the mainland, she hated it due to the social credits system, as well as extreme lack of freedom, invasion of privacy, crumbling buildings, as well as human-rights abuses that not even i knew about (such as them recently, and in secret to the outside world, drowning entire villages to prop up an empty city). also, i went there to be with her and meet her parents, and i ended up in maybe more than 20 malls there. i didn't say "go to", because most of the time we would walk through a mall to go to the other side of it, sometimes into another mall, to get to the other side of the building. even the mtr stations there are malls (which is also how it's extremely clean, functional, and well funded).
