China has urged Malaysia to intensify its efforts to find Flight MH370, as frustration at the failure to locate the missing jet threatened to boil over.
“The Malaysian side attaches importance to the incident with a sincere attitude, but in light of the situation, the Malaysian side needs to step up their efforts,” said Qin Gang, a spokesman for the foreign ministry.
The Boeing 777 jet vanished at 1.20am local time on Saturday morning, roughly 40 minutes after taking off from Kuala Lumpur on route to Beijing. The skies were clear and the plane, with more than 150 Chinese on board, sent no distress signal.
