What would be the preferred shipping service? For whatever reason xpresspost does work. Box is just under 1lb and around 9x6x6 inches.

Xpresspost may not work because the dimensions are too small.
Tracked Packet is what you have in your listing so why not use that. Insurance if you really want it could be obtained via a third-party like U-Pic or ShipInsurance.
Personally I would just send it via Small Packet Air.

The dimensions should be fine for xpresspost or tracked packet. With xpresspost you could buy the extra insurance through CP if you wanted it. Tracked packet has insurance up to $100 but you could pay insure the amount over that with a third party insurance company.

It ain't cheap.
According to the OP, the package is 1 lb which would be fine for any CP parcel service.
Tracked packet international can be used for up to 2kg. Xpresspost international up to 30 kg.
recped - Have you found that HK has more reliable mail than China? I've had really bad luck sending packages to China in the last year.

I just checked PayPal shipping a few minutes and found you can ship that size by XpressPost for about $78.00 at 500 grams. No Tracked Packet.
It is beyond why would Canada Post not offer Tracked Packet to Hong Kong but only XpressPost. I would think if Canada Post do offer XpressPost to any countries, therefore, they can offer Tracked Packets to the same countries!!
If the camerca is expensive, then ship it with a tracking number and insurance. To suggest small packet air for the expensive item is not ideal, it is a huge risk.
In fact you should already include the right mail service to the International countries before you post this item. That way the buyer who bought it will knew it would be ship at expensive mail service or choose not to buy it.

You're right, Paypal shipping doesn't have tracked packet to HK or for any of the "new" additions on the following list. I have a list of Tracked Packet International locations that I copied from the CP site in December or January and all of those locations are on that list so they can't be that 'new'.
I'll pass the info on to Raphael so that he can pass it on to Paypal/PB.

You have to click on the international destinations link to see that country list.

It doesn't come up on PayPal Shipping last night. When will it start or is it already started and PayPal is not up-to-date??

Probably PayPal not up to date, look for them to add it in 3 - 5 years that's their normal speed!

I suspect the problem is not with PayPal (they are only the payment processor) but with Pitney Bowes, the program administrator under contract from eBay.
