In my opinion, with almost three hours, either connection is safe if your flight from HKG arrives on time. In the event that CX does not check your bags all the way through to your destination, AA cutoff for checking bags at LAX is 45 minutes and it should take you no longer than five minutes to get from TBIT to the AA check-in counters in T4.
