China said US investigators had not released any information about the cause of a China Eastern Airlines jetliner crash in March, after The Wall Street Journal reported the plane’s flight data recorder indicated someone pushed the Boeing 737-800 into a steep dive.

American investigators confirmed to the Civil Aviation Administration of China that they had released no information to reporters, the government newspaper Global Times reported.
