My ticket is LAX-HKG-TPE and TPE-HKG (cheaper this way for business class), I wonder if the GA at LAX will go ahead and issue me the TPE-HKG boarding pass or make me get one when I arrive in Taipei.

Thanks.
I did this exact same itinerary to save big bucks on J class fare. You do not have to clear customs and immigration. Simply follow the signs to the transit desk. They will look at you funny since you will have just arrived from HKG, but they issued me my boarding pass and I went to the lounge for a quick drink before boarding the flight back to HKG.
