Updating MH370 search

Hearts are heavy over the fate of the crew and passengers, including 154 Chinese nationals, who boarded the missing Malaysia Airlines flight. Search teams from 12 countries and regions are scouring the seas for any sign of the plane, and people around the world are waiting for news.

Malaysia Airlines and the Malaysian authorities have reacted too, but some confusing information has cast a shadow over the search efforts, says an opinion piece in Beijing Times.

After two Iranians were reported to have boarded the aircraft with stolen passports, Malaysian police published their photos with obvious errors. Even if that was a fault in "photocopying" as they claimed, it shows haste at the cost of professionalism.
