    Australia, Philippines, Indonesia conducting search operations

    Notably, India's side came nearly 24 hours after China's President Xi Jinping and Prime Minister Li Qiang appealed to their diplomats in foreign countries to assist in the search for survivors. On Thursday, China pulled out two bodies from the ocean, but there was no trace of survivors or life rafts. Meanwhile, Australia, the Philippines, and Indonesia have joined the search.
