MH370 Chinese ambassador to Malaysia Huang Huikang said that his government is not upset with Malaysia regarding the handling of the MH370 crisis.

Speaking at a press conference today, he blamed the Western media for fanning the emotions of the relatives of the Chinese national passengers.

The ambassador also took a swipe at netizens, Chinese celebrities and even some of the relatives who had condemned Malaysia over the missing plane.

He said these “over-reactionary” and “irresponsible” views do not reflect the views of the majority of the relatives, nor the views of the Chinese government.

Furious relatives have accused Malaysia of "murdering" their loved ones and concealing information about the plane.

However, the Malaysian government has repeatedly denied this, claiming that it has been transparent.

When asked about the briefing led by Malaysia’s Department of Civil Aviation to the relatives of the Chinese passengers earlier today, Huang declined to disclose the contents of the closed-door briefing.

The ambassador, who was present at the briefing, added that he is impressed with the number of high-ranking officials and experts addressing the family members’ concerns, as well as how well-organised it was.

‘Embassy staff still studying feedback’

Embassy staff are still surveying their feedback regarding the briefing, he said, but he observed that the relatives had listened to the briefing quietly and carefully, while questions and concerns were voiced calmly.

None of the next of kin had acted inappropriately nor asked further questions at the end of the briefing, although Malaysian authorities have expressed willingness to address any queries in the future.

In total, Huang said the family members present asked 18 questions while those in Beijing asked three via a live telecast.

A small number of Malaysian next-of-kin present did not manage to ask their questions due to time constraints in the three-hour briefing, but were promised more briefings.

To a question regarding Malaysia’s handling of the crisis and allegations of cover-up, Huang said the Chinese government is satisfied with Malaysia’s performance from the first day of the crisis, including the search and rescue, the investigations, and the care given to the next of kin, and dismissed the cover-up allegations.

“There were weaknesses in the coordination between different Malaysian departments, and contradictory statements were given. These need to be improved in future efforts.

“But in the face of such a rare and immense disaster, no one can perform perfectly,” he said.
