I don't know what happens to status points if you are downgraded, but I am afraid that you will be credited for points in the class you travel and compensated monetary.
Of course, you can also choose to wait in HKG for the next flight where J seats are available.
There are like 10 flights to TPE and 8 to PVG, so pad some time in your itinerary to reduce the risks if you wish to.

The Guangzhou call center told me today that if in the case I have to be downgraded, then I will only get fewer status points for the downgraded cabin class.
