So....in summary......HKG weather changed and required an alternate or holding which they didn't have. So they diverter to a airport which didn't have requirements and therefore they remained legal and complied with the fuel policy.
If the weather on arrival is unforecast then what can you do. Can't plan for everything.
Done and dusted
