Interesting discussion on the news - first there is breaking news right now that the Chinese vessel has again detected the ping. But the interesting bit is that the Chinese vessel is operating outside of any designated search area that all participants are supposed to be searching, which is leading to speculation that somehow China has additional information that they are not sharing. This could be why the seemingly biggest lead of a ping detected is seemingly being followed up with not much coordination.
Not to mention China is putting this information out on their state run news, versus actually communicating it to the search command. Why they are doing this is anyone's guess, but it seems really dumb. It's idiotic that the search command has to hear this via the news, and ask China to contact them with the information.
