Yes, you can use any oneworld partner which are always priced at the 'peak' rate. Please read the thread linked.
Return LHR-HKG in business with CX is 180k avios so without a bonus from MR->BAEC you don't have enough for one ticket.

He will be sorely disappointed at not being able to get him and his Mrs anywhere near the Far East for 170k points.
Amex MR's I assume, which transfer to BAEC 1:1 normally. But I agree, not enough through BAEC to get two people to the Far East in J/F.
