I did just book the LAX-HKG RT piece of this in late September, 9/21-9/26, $637, 4.4 cpm, and three days on the ground to actually experience the city. Booked the new non-stop, but could have decreased cpm by either a Narita routing or even a DFW one.
Not the greatest cpm but much less brutal than the OP's itinerary. Only 5 booked seats in MCE and 1 in business so like my chances to get a miles/dollars upgrade.
