Tuesday, 18 March 2014


People's Republic of China (PRC) has begun searching for missing Malaysian Airlines flight on its own territory, state media said on Tuesday, citing Beijing's envoy in Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia. The northern corridor projected from satellite and military radar data that the Boeing 777/200ER which vanished from the radar screen with 239 passengers on board 10 days ago, have flown through passes through far western China. Chinese ambassador in Kuala Lumpur Huang Huikang said that China had begun search and rescue operations in the area. The Malaysian Airlines’ MH370 flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing had 153 Chinese nationals on board when it mysteriously went missing somewhere between Malaysia and Vietnam on March 8, according to Xinhua.
