As frustration and anger deepened in China over the unexplained disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 with 239, mostly Chinese, people on board, the Chinese government sought on Monday to balance a swirl of imperatives: • Securing answers from Malaysia while deleting speculative social media comments in China; • Trying to tamp down public exasperation at perceptions of a lack of information, even security lapses, by the Malaysian authorities; • Avoiding an eruption of anger toward ethnic Uighurs, whom some ethnic Han are accusing, without evidence, of a terrorist act; • Ensuring that a tragedy that has shaken so many Chinese does not disrupt the National People’s Congress, now holding its annual meeting in Beijing.
