Ah, yes, OK. TPE-CGK is 140 status points in discount J and costs about HK$6300. So you'd need to do that 15 times from Green to get to Diamond at a cost of about HK$100K/GBP10K. And 9 times at a cost of ~HK$60K/GBP6K to maintain it.
As noted, much easier/cheaper for people based around Asia rather than in HKG.
