A Chinese newspaper has warned the Malaysian government not to shirk its responsibilities over missing Flight 370.
The Global Times, a tabloid under the Communist Party mouthpiece People's Daily, said in a tersely worded editorial that "the Malaysian side cannot shirk its responsibilities".
It added: "Until yesterday, it could not even ensure accurate information about the passengers.
"The initial response from Malaysia was not swift enough.
"There are loopholes in the work of Malaysia Airlines and security authorities."
The newspaper added the airlines should take the blame if it turns out to be a mechanical breakdown or pilot error and the security checks at Kuala Lumpur airport and on the flight would be called into question if it turns out to be a terrorist attack.
