A Cathay Pacific Boeing 777-300, registration B-KQQ performing flight CX893 from San Francisco, CA (U.S.) to Hong Kong (China), was enroute at FL360 over the East China Sea about 140nm northeast of Taipei (Taiwan) when the crew detected a fuel leak at the left hand engine (GE90), declared PAN and decided to divert to Taipei. The crew advised they had a fuel leak but were planning to vacate the runway and keep moving the aircraft unless there was any advisory requiring a stop. The aircraft landed safely on Taipei's runway 05R about 30 minutes after leaving FL360.

A passenger reported the aircraft had experienced two engine surges during the flight, then diverted to Taipei due to a fuel leak.
