China has told Malaysia that it must immediately expand and clarify the scope of the search for the missing airliner. Hong Lei, Chinas ambassador to Malaysia, said: Of course search and rescue efforts have become even harder now, and the area is much bigger. We hope that Malaysia can provide more thorough, accurate information to countries participating. Hong declined to comment when asked if China is checking into the backgrounds of the Chinese passengers on board in search of suspicious histories. He declined to say whether China is searching over Tibet and the western region of Xinjiang for the jet, or whether China has ruled out that the plane entered its airspace.
