There may be differences in how radio frequencies are controlled.  From what I have found, Hong Kong allows 2.4G channels 12 and 13 to be used, whereas the US does not.  My guess is not being able to use channels 12 and 13 will not adversely impact you.  The 5G channel availability appears to be the same.  This is the table Google found for me:

(Yes, it is from Juniper Networks, but "frequencies and frequencies" no matter who makes the WiFi equipment.)
