Chinese netizens wondered wondered how much more information Malaysia is withholding
China’s internet users, increasingly frustrated over the Malaysian government’s handling of events after Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 went missing 10 days ago, have called on the Chinese government to apply economic sanctions and urged tourists to boycott Malaysian destinations this week.
“It is due to your bureaucracy and politics that we are still unable to locate our people,” a microblogger wrote on Weibo on Tuesday. “If the Malaysian government continues to fail their job, I strongly urge China to sanction against them. “

Microbloggers expressed discontent over the contradictory and piecemeal information Malaysian Airlines and its government have provided, criticising the government’s lack of transparency. Many wondered how much more information Malaysia is withholding.
“ China should sanction Malaysia to force the truth out of them, “ Zhang Kai, a lawyer based in China’s Zhejiang province, wrote on Weibo.

“Malaysia should be completely honest and release everything they know,” a blogger wrote on Tuesday. “Otherwise China should slap them with sanctions and take military actions if necessary.”
