Marriott Bonvoy members have been able to convert points to airline miles with several partners, although the conversion bonus has been dropped with several lately (read more here and here).
Cathay Pacific Asia Miles members can now convert their miles to Marriott Bonvoy points at an unfavorable ratio.
You can access Marriott’s page for airline partners here and Cathay Pacific’s page for Marriott conversions here.

Conversion Ratio:
Marriott Bonvoy to Cathay Pacific Asia Miles
3 Marriott Bonvoy points convert to 1 Asia Miles. If you convert 60,000 Marriott Bonvoy points, Marriott will bonus the transaction by 5,000 miles resulting in 25,000 Asia Miles.
Cathay Pacific Asia Miles to Marriott Bonvoy
You need 2 Asia Miles for each 1 Marriott Bonvoy point.
Conclusion
It makes little sense to convert Asia Miles to Marriott Bonvoy points at this ratio.
I can understand a reason if you need a minimal number of Bonvoy points for an award and have an ample number of Asia Miles sitting in your account.
