Having said that, you can only call AA and take their word for it, unfortunately.
You can check CX award availability on BA (assuming you have a BA acct #). Just enter the route (i.e. HKG-YYZ) and date, pick class of service and hit search, it will ask you if you want to stopover in London, (say NO), then it will ask you if you want to check its partner carriers as BA does not fly HKG-YYZ, then it will show avail CX flights. One option for you may be HKG_NRT_JFK on JL.
If you don't have access to BA system, send me your dates and I will search for you. Ialways use the BA tool to search CX and other oneworld avail, then call AA and give them the flight numbers. Having an AA agent search for you is hit or miss, also for some reason, if you want to go from say BKK-JFK, AA will tell you no availability, the reason is the two legs should be separated BKK-HKG, then HKG-JFK.
