Only if Disney wants to absolutely kill any last smidge of goodwill between themselves and the Government of Hong Kong.

Disneyland and the Magic Kingdom are owned by the same company. Hong Kong Disneyland and Shanghai Disneyland are not.
But walt disney imagineering makes these things we just have to see!

But they don't pay for them or decide where they go.
The reason mystic manor was made was cause due to china's disbelief of the dead so they could make a true "Haunted Mansion"

Hong Kong is a former British colony and Chinese people aren't stupid. It's unique because the owners wanted Disney to actually put effort into the park.
Nope its chinese disbelifs of the dead as far as i know
Yet your right they may also have gotten the new story from British

You're buying into vague marketing hype and fan supposition. The Chinese are well aware of ghosts. Even the official atheism of the Mainland doesn't fully censor such stories and attractions and if it did would block a supernatural story such as Mystic Manor.
I'm not saying the story is British. Hong Kong was British. You're applying negative, narrow stereotypes to a variety of peoples.

I don't like clones. How about they come up with something new, something surprising? People typically want things that they can see, but the best and most successful options lie in what hasn't been created.
But that's not the issue here, the main concern is that it would be extremely dangerous to Hong Kong Disneyland's future if their best ride is brought next door. Hong Kong will have it tough enough once Shanghai opens, and cloning Mystic Manor would most likely cause HKDL to die. And I'd hate to see that happen.
But Shanghai Shendi Group would likely be thrilled to see that happen, so if they're thinking the same way I am...

It's hard to argue with incoherent babbling.
New Proof:A nytimes article says this Attendants in Mickey Mouse ears at a news conference Wednesday for the coming Shanghai Disney Resort. The company promises it will be “authentically Disney and distinctly Chinese.” (Article:http://www.nytimes.com/2015/07/16/business/shanghai-disney-resort-plans-unveiled.html?_r=0)

I dont think they will build Mystic Manor at Shanghai. If you look at both parks, they have mostly different attractions. If they keep it this way then both of them can gain more visitors, ie Disney fans from China might still like to visit HK also as it has different rides. Or ppl like me from Australia, since I'm coming such a long way anyway..I would go to both as long as there are enough different attractions. Have a look at the list..at the moment only 5 rides are the same..dumbo,carousel,buzz, stitch and pooh. The rest are different.

Also I dont know if buzz and pooh rides are exactly the same in both places? the description is very different for them on each website.

Buzz ride will be different than any of the other versions. Though it does keep the same omnimover and z-target style, which I appreciate. It is not really infringing on Toy Story Midway Mania's style. I'm sure relatively few others care about that, but I do, and my initial concerns about the ride have been calmed.
Pooh looks to be generally the same as the Hong Kong version. The ride is very popular in Hong Kong. And so is the merchandise. The Chinese like Pooh.
On a completely unrelated side note, Peter Pan's Flight will have two rows rather than one (at least according to the concept art), allowing for capacity to be less than dismal. I'm glad they've learned from the long wait times for the ride in the US.
