Flight MH370: Missteps by China slowed search for missing jet

FYI, the author isn't keeping his POV he is actually quoting the statements of Senior Professors from HK Univs and from other Institutions.
Sorry, I don't trust the western media, like you india, whether it is true? even that's statements from HK univs? So? you don't know in HK, there are still not few protest against Mainland? many HK netizen like western and indian know little about Mainland, it is not different for these boring and ignorant people.

There are many evidences we provided in here that we are not the only one who was wrong in our judgement. I cited Australia as another example and you fucking continue to ignore and defame with nonsense that I find ridiculously annoying. If you don't pay attention to this MH370 missing plane fiasco, then I suggest you shut your mouth and quit blaming us for every fucking little mistake we may or may not have caused. I'm getting very tired that our country always get blame for everything. If this flight did not contain Chinese national, we would have left and go home.

As for evidence of misleading search, I want to remind you in bold of multiple false lead evidence from Australia.

False Leads in Search for Missing Jet
April 14, 2014 (AP)

If the signals detected deep in the Indian Ocean are truly from the wreckage from Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, they ultimately will close the book on a frustrating long list of false leads in the effort to find the jet. Here are the most prominent moments in which hopes of solving the tragic aviation mystery were dashed:

— March 8: More than an hour after Malaysia Airlines reports the Boeing 777 missing, rumors spread on the Internet that the plane landed safely at an airport in southern China. These quickly turn out to be baseless. Later in the day, search planes spot two long oil slicks in the South China Sea, but tests show the oil was not from an aircraft.

— March 9: Vietnam says a search plane spots objects in the South China Sea suspected to be from the plane, but they turn out to be unrelated. Malaysia's air force chief says there were indications on military radar that the jet may have turned back from its flight path and crossed the Malay peninsula after its communications systems went off. Authorities intensify their search on the western side of the country and in the northern part of the Strait of Malacca.

— March 10: Searchers spot a floating yellow object, spurring speculation it could be a life raft, but it is found to be moss-covered piece of sea trash.

— March 11: News early on that two of the 239 passengers on board used stolen passports fueled speculation of terrorism. Malaysian police determine that the two men were Iranians seeking to migrate illegally to Europe and were not terrorists.

— March 12: A Chinese state agency releases images of three white objects floating in the sea close to the plane's last confirmed position in the South China Sea, but Vietnamese and Malaysian searchers find nothing at the spot. Three days later, Malaysia's prime minister says satellite data show the plane could be anywhere on two huge arcs: a northern one stretching from Thailand up to southern Kazakhstan, and a southern one from the western tip of Indonesia's Java Island to the southern stretches of the Indian Ocean.

— March 19: Australia's prime minister says satellite images show two large objects floating in the southern Indian Ocean. They are never found.

— March 22: A search plane spots a floating wooden pallet that appeared to be surrounded by straps of different lengths and colors, but spotters are unable to photograph it. A New Zealand military aircraft tries to locate the objects for closer inspection, but finds only clumps of seaweed.

— March 23: A French satellite detects 122 floating objects, but search planes are unable to locate them. A day later, Malaysia's prime minister says a new analysis of satellite data shows the plane crashed into the southern Indian Ocean, somewhere west of the city of Perth.

— March 27: A Thai satellite detects about 300 objects floating in the Indian Ocean. They are never verified to be from the plane.

— March 28: The Australian agency coordinating the search shifts the search area about 1,100 kilometers (680 miles) to the northeast after analysis of radar data suggests that the plane flew faster than thought and used up more fuel, thereby reducing the distance it traveled.

— March 30: Malaysia's defense minister says investigations of a flight simulator in the pilot's home, including a check by the FBI, turned up "nothing sinister."

— April 10: An Australian aircraft picks up a possible underwater signal, but it is later found to be unrelated. The false lead comes days after the Ocean Shield, an Australian ship, detected underwater "pings" on two days that were consistent with signals emitted from an aircraft's black boxes.

— April 11: Australia's prime minister says authorities are now confident underwater signals are coming from the missing jet's flight data recorders in an area about 4,500 meters (15,000 feet) deep. He cautions that retrieving them from the ocean floor will be very challenging.

— April 14: With no signals detected for six days amid speculation the black boxes' batteries have expired, a robotic submarine is launched to scan the seafloor for remains of the plane.

SO WHY EXACTLY Do we get the blame but not Australia, too? Answer the question or shut up.

also this japanese satellite's claim:

Japanese Satellite Spots Objects Southwest of Perth - Wall Street Journal - WSJ.com

the whole thing connecting with the contents of the OP is just RIDICULOUS!
another chapter in the smearing campaign on China - debunked!
 
. .
That the Malaysian military is incompetent at this type and scale of operation ?

If there are any questions to be asked about the SAR response, I think the one that should be asked first is why on earth did the Singapore authorities not take charge - after all according to ICAO regulations, the aircraft was in their FIR and thus their responsibility
