^You think it's passing HK on the financial side? I've been to both cities and clearly Shanghai has more skyscrapers -- it's a much larger city, so no surprise there. But I thought HK was still the financial center followed by Singapore (setting aside Tokyo as its own center for Japan). I'm not in the financial sector so could easily be misinformed.
BTW, love this building more with every update. Might be my favorite in the world.
More skyscrapers than HK? What does skyscraper mean? Hong Kong has twice as many 200 meter buildings than Shanghai. Shanghai probably has more 80-100 meter apartment blocks though just because of the mass of the city, maybe?
You're probably right that above a certain height, HK pulls ahead. You're last sentence gets at my impressions of both cities. Highrises is probably a better word to use. In the end, both skylines are insanely impressive.

Hey! They sneaking into the entire building. He could be arrested for trespassing charges. They did not have a permission to go into the building. He can't go inside without security clearance. He will not allowed to go on the property.

I'd say it needs no lighting scheme, just the lights within the building.
