HKG has long had a government-regulated cap on YQ. I guess it has now been completely removed - entirely sensible with $30 oil...
However, this is also why it can be harder to find ex-HKG award availability than say PVG or other airports in the region (not VS of course)
This reminds me to check whether HKG-LHR / stopover / onwards later to North America prices the whole itinerary without YQ.
