"Changes are permitted provided ticketed points remain the same. If the first flight coupon is being changed, and the fare level has increased since ticket issuance, the difference between the old and new fare will be charged. If the fare level has decreased since ticket issuance, no refund will apply."
My understanding is that if you intend on still flying via AMM-DXB-HKG to TPE and you merely want to change the date and/or time of the flight but cities & airlines remain the same, you should be fine. But if you change the airlines or the routing before flying CAI-AMM, you will trigger a reprice at current fare levels. What I'm not certain about, however, is if adding a stopover along the route would trigger a reprice or not.
However, there are many more venerable experts on this thread who can chime in. That's my interpretation of the fare rules though.
ETA: Sorry I re-read dvs7310's explanation above and now see that since TPE is your first stopover point, any change along the way would be considered changing the first leg of your trip, which would trigger a reprice.
