How is HK income so much higher than mainland income

Hong Kong is an economic hub of commerce becuase of its strategic geography. That is why the British Empire colonize Hong Kong and why the Pax Americana use Hong Kong as an example of Capitalism and 'benefit' of colonialism with the assumption that geography of Hong Kong does not affect its economic success.

Also HK is a city while mainland encompasses poorer rural areas
