China on Tuesday asked Malaysia to make its officials part of a probe into the mysterious crash of a Malaysian airliner in the Indian Ocean even as Beijing decided to send a special envoy there to seek more information.
While President Xi Jinping, currently in Europe, ordered that Vice Foreign Minister Zhang Yesui will head for Kuala lumpur soon to seek more details, Premier li Keqiang asked Malaysia to include Chinese officials into the probe of the crash of MH370 - carrying 239 people, 154 of whom were Chinese.
Malaysia should strictly comply with the international convention, continue to coordinate the international search, and absorb Chinese experts to join the in-depth investigation, li said. Chinese officials say a “flip-flop” probe by Malaysian authorities is adding more confusion to the mysterious crash.
