That's not entire true. Laws exist and don't exist there simultaneously. It depends on who you are and who saw you doing it. On top of that there is the overarching unwritten law of "you will obey the CCP" which just kind of means they will do whatever they want to you and you have next to no legal recourse. Again unless you are the right person or know the right people.
