Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin said at a regular press briefing yesterday that the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CCAC) has said that it will release information “in a timely fashion” on the findings of its “meticulous” investigation into the fatal crash of a China Eastern jet in Guangxi in March.
Wang made the remarks in response to a reporter’s question about the findings in a report by The Wall Street Journal which quoted a source in the US as saying that the crash was possibly caused by “someone in the cockpit”.
All the 132 people on board perished in the crash on March 21.
According to the Foreign Ministry’s website, Wang said yesterday that the “CAAC has said that it will maintain close communication with all parties participating in the investigation, conduct the investigation in a science-based, meticulous and orderly manner, and release the progress and other relevant information about the investigation in a timely and accurate fashion in accordance with CICA and government information disclosure requirements.”
