We are shocked at the crash of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH 17 in the eastern part of Ukraine and express deep condolences to the victims as well as sincere sympathy to their families. We hope that the cause will be found out as soon as possible. The Chinese Foreign Ministry and diplomatic and consular missions abroad have activated the emergency response mechanism to establish whether there were Chinese citizens onboard. We will closely monitor the situation, stay in close contact with all parties and take corresponding measures.
