Because West Kowloon is not within GD.

West Kowloon is practically similar to the U.S. preclearance port of entry in Canada. So when you clear the U.S. CBP in Canada, making you practically under the U.S. control, you are still in Canada for all other purposes.

In this case, by clearing West Kowloon port, you are within the Mainland control. Yet, you are still in Hong Kong for all other purposes.

So West Kowloon is a Mainland port managed by GD PSB in Hong Kong.
