it could be someone like Geoffrey Thomas who has no qualifications or experience in aviation, no technical background, yet news agencies quote him on aviation accidents. Being familiar with the investigation could simply mean they have read the CAAC press releases.
Almost everything regarding in newspapers is written by people who have no idea what they are talking about, they were the arts students at university.
