I do not know what you mean by "CX has no obligation". So CX should tell me " sorry, you are late for the flight from HKG to DPS, the flight delay for PEK to HKG has nothing to do with HKG to DPS"

Let's see what they can compensate.....
Even if the two flights are on the same ticket and you checked in for both together, 'compensation' for a weather delay really is just to get you to your destination safely. They may get you a hotel and/or food (required in Europe, almost never get it in the US) but they don't owe you anything else as vouchers, cash, upgrades, miles, or anything else.

As for the taxes, I don't know much about HK airport tax, but ask whoever you bought the ticket from would be my guess.
