FORCE REMOTE QUERY EXECUTION

Question

SELECT thcc.ConfirmationNumber , thcc.AmountReceived , hcc.AmountReceived
FROM [dbo].[TMP_EXPEDIA_HOTEL_HCC] thcc WITH (NOLOCK)
JOIN (
SELECT *
FROM OPENQUERY([SQLREP01], 'SELECT TOP 10000 ConfirmationNumber , Rate, AmountReceived , FirstName , LastName , Status FROM TCOLLECTION.dbo.[EXPEDIA_HOTEL_HCC] WITH (NOLOCK)')
) hcc
on thcc.ConfirmationNumber = hcc.ConfirmationNumber AND thcc.FirstName = hcc.FirstName AND thcc.LastName = hcc.LastName
AND thcc.Status = hcc.Status
AND thcc.Rate = hcc.Rate
WHERE thcc.AmountReceived != hcc.AmountReceived
I have local table with 130 K Records and I want to compare against REMOTE Linked Server.
The query never gets compleated. The linked serve account I use doesn't have the permissions to run DBCC SHOW_STATISTICS.
It only has SELECT permissions. Number of Rows available in REMOTE SQL SERVER TABLE IS 43 Million.
My question is How can force the execution of the query only on REMOTE Server?
How can I tell the query is being processed on the remote server?.
Looking at the query plan, I see the REMOTE SCAN. 
Thanks,

Hi,
As mentioned 2 different needs (*) Small table, (*) Bigger table, I will recommenced to think on using 2 different solutions according. Basically for the small table we can just import the data to the local machine, as a new table, and use simple compare,
But for the bigger table (or if there is very poor NET connection) it is better to use a solution which uses data traffic as little as possible and for this we needs your tables structure. There will be different solution if all you have is ID (INT) column
or if you are need to compare 1000 NVARCHAR(MAX) columns. Moreover we need to know if you only need to compare (get a list of different records) or you need to fix the records which are not the same or missing, and in this case we need to know what is the
rule for the fix (for example TabeleA have a record different from TableB so we fix TableB, T1 has missing records that is on T2 then do we delete it fro m T1 or copy from T2? etc')
Please post DDL+DML and some missing information :-)
