Missing jet: China asks Malaysia to share 'exact information'

March 15, 2014 17:16

China today asked Malaysia to share "exact information" about the missing plane and said it had sent "technical specialists" to join the probe after the Malaysian prime minister pointed to "deliberate action" by someone on the jetliner to divert it.

"We asked Malaysia to provide thorough and exact information about the missing flight MH370", Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang said.

His comments came soon after Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak's press conference in Kuala Lumpur. Razak said the movement of the missing flight was "consistent with deliberate action by someone on plane".

China is extremely concerned as 154 of the 239 people aboard the Beijing-bound jet are Chinese nationals. The government is under pressure to give relatives some news about the aircraft's fate.
