Yes. Once you've checked you luggage it's no more change. I tried once for exHKG flight to TPE and they say they tried but the answer is no.

If your origional flight went tech or blah then that's another story (which bags will be unloaded back to system for resorting)
I do not know about ex-HKG, but I did that TPE-HKG last September. My flight was originally a afternoon flight. I checked in (with checked luggage) about 8am for a late morning flight and was waitlisted on an earlier flight. My waitlist got cleared when I was in the lounge and my checked luggage was re-tagged.
