Consider yourself lucky. There are 6 of those 31 available in Hong Kong and the subscription cost is 10% higher than the US, despite median household income being around a third lower.
I really don't understand the logic in charging a higher price for 10% of the content in a poorer country, but perhaps that's why I don't work for Netflix.
Number of TV shows/movies on US netflix: 1147/4593
Number of TV shows/movies on HK netflix: 134/ 392
US Netflix standard price: $ 8.99
HK Netflix standard price: $10.00
