That's part of irrops and it sucks. No idea what would happen, part of the risk. You may be put on another flight back stateside
also, the next flight to hkg destination may be in 3 days, not ideal either if you were going thru HND (which allows overnight transit)
Ideally you'll schedule via HND, but that's not always feasible. That's part of researching as much as you can and figuring out a backup plan (i.e. don't get on plane if there's a 6 hour delay from usa, check schedule of OW flights from HND-HKG and requesting reroute).
Obviously more complicated if you require a confirmed hotel appointment for quarantine with a small window to arrival, like australia
