A possible reason is that it went through (or is going through) the sovereign courts of New Zealand. Another reason would be that Kim committed his for profit crimes virtually in the US even if he was physically in New Zealand. That is, he was knowingly selling access to copyrighted content to American consumers, with American employees, from American servers. Also, as I understand it China's law applies broadly to a class of people (i.e Hong Kongers) whereas Kim's case is a specific legal ruling for a specific criminal.

- ALittleLight 6y agoI don't really have much sympathy for people whose business model is "I'm going to sell copyrighted movies and TV shows for my own profit without compensating the creators in any way." Surely there are complicated legal questions at issue, which is why this has taken so long - but ultimately I think criminal charges against blatant for profit infringement are just.
