We don't have an extradition treaty with China and we suspended our extradition treaty with Hong Kong because we don't trust the CCP, while we still have an extradition treaty with the USA, so that's one difference.
Another difference: NZ won't extradite people unless the crime they're accused of is a crime in New Zealand and there's a plausible case against them. So, even if we had a treaty we wouldn't extradite people to China for sedition against the CCP because that's not a crime under NZ law.

Of course, even if we did have a sedition law making it illegal to call for a putsch against the NZ government, that wouldn't make it illegal to call for the overthrow of the CCP, so the latter still wouldn't be extraditable.
