Us passport? No

Re bno: unless you get a weird immigration pfficer in the schengen states, you'd be seen as a EU citizen (all but UK) and get right to stay.

In uk u get 6mths (same as hksar)
And you'd need some experience to get someone to think the hksar passport being a chinese passport n then u'll need a visa for oh so many countries

As been mentioned by others above, if you're travelling on a US passport you don't need a transit visa to travel on CX888. Short Answer is No. Long Answer is also No.

HKG is not a small town airport. You won't be the first person w/ US passport travelling on CX888 so yes, they know you don't need a transit visa.
