Other shoe, other foot...

MH17 crash: China says Australia's response 'rash' (Sydney Morning Herald July 19th 2014)

The official Xinhua news agency said in an English language commentary that officials from the United States, Australia and other Western countries had jumped to conclusions

"The accusation was apparently rash when the officials acknowledged they did not know for the time being who is responsible for the attack, while condemning Russia's military intervention, Xinhua said.
"" You tell 'em Chan!"
The news agency said the top priority at the moment was to co-operate to "find out the real culprits, if any".
"If the plane turned out to have been shot down by a missile, the perpetrators should be brought to justice despite their motives and excuses, as it was an intolerable terrorist attack," Xinhua said.

The puzzle here is the phrase "real culprits, if any". One can only presume that China envisages a scenario where the Boeing simply imploded of its own accord. It's a theory proposed by bit the flat earth society , for example, and claiming planes fly upside down when they reach the edge until their final destination.
Not so long ago China was throwing her weight around after the disappearance of MH 370.
