BA's HKG-TPE is served by so-called British Airways Asia. KL and SR use aircraft with similar corporate colours but with some Chinese characters on the tail or somewhere.
Another cavet is that even thought British Asia Airways seem like the real thing, it is still treated like a poor cousin. As an example, the new Club World flat-bed seats are now available BA HKG-LHR, but not on the BAA flight TPE-HKG-LHR.
