MH370 flight victims’ families in China still hold out hope

A group of demonstrators – one holding a letter addressed to Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim – was allowed to pass the police line and approach the embassy.

They emerged almost 20 minutes later but did not talk to journalists standing in a cordoned-off area nearby.

Following the plane’s 2014 disappearance, an Australia-led search that covered 120,000 sq km (46,000 square miles) in the Indian Ocean found hardly any trace of the plane, with only some pieces of debris picked up.

The operation was suspended in January 2017.

The plane’s disappearance has long been the subject of theories – ranging from the credible to outlandish – including that veteran pilot Zaharie Ahmad Shah had gone rogue.

A final report into the tragedy released in 2018 pointed to failings by air traffic control and said the course of the plane was changed manually.

But ten years on, relatives are still desperate for answers.

In Beijing, Li on Friday urged the Chinese government to “quickly find our loved ones and figure out what the actual facts of the situation are”.

“It’s been 10 years already. And now what’s going on with getting to the bottom of (it)? Is it a government conspiracy or what?” he said.

“We don’t know anything.”
