Well Vietnam pretty much plays ball with China. So if China said it "didn't happen" then one would expect the Vietnamese to say the same and then follow along with the ruse.

There is always false data around a crash in the early hours. The Nanming story also had them flying on their normal course straight across Vietnam.
If contact had been lost at two hours the flight would have already been across Vietnam airspace, so fuel wouldn't have been a problem.

Because the oil slick is confirmed to be jet fuel,..."
I am of this opinion but I must admit I am a little perplexed because you then follow up with this.
"...There is definitely foul play happening here.
So where is the definitive "foul play" in your theory? Your theory seems to be in the realm of accidental and not intentional.
"My theory is that they realize there was a mechanical problem, so they started dumping the fuel. Then for some reasons, someone opened the emergency door and the whole cabin is depressurized and almost everyone got sucked out of the plane body. The pilots realized this and made a U-turn and finally crashed at the last known coordinate shown in the image."

I'll add, the Nanming stories didn't have any info on the flight path. It was just reported they landed in Nanming.

Maybe so but if one has something the other wants or can give, then deals are made. Is this news or something?

not sure what gives you that idea but its not always the case.. there were disagreements about territory in the south china sea between the two and several other countries in the area..

Now the airline CEO referenced the report of this. Where did the assertion that it landed originate from? Was he reading the Onion too? Or did it come from a verifiable source? The idea that the CEO references this is at the very least odd and more likely very disconcerting.
A MAS spokesman confirmed that the claims, made mostly on micro-blogging site Twitter, were untrue.
Are any of these rumors true?
Unfortunately, no. All these rumors have been debunked. The source seems to have simply been Twitter hearsay.
So someone came up with the idea that they landed in a place called Nanming? You ever hear of Nanming before?

He referenced it to clear up the false speculation that it landed safely somewhere. And where did it originate? Twitter.

Unfortunately, no. All these rumors have been debunked. The source seems to have simply been Twitter hearsay.
And before you have to ask why the CEO would reference reports from Twitter, I'll say it again: to end the false speculation about it being safe. That's what you do when false info is going around, you correct it.
I also didn't see the specifics you mentioned about it landing in Nanming. I just saw a fairly basic claim that it landed there along with very easy to find info about the crew and passengers.edit on 9-3-2014 by ManiShuck because: (no reason given)

The purpose of these multiple parks, centers, bases and other subdivisions is to promote top research institutions located in the Zone, to provide professional technology services, to establish the pilot base to execute the construction and operation, and to establish the province’s data processing center. The focus of the three projects, which include Talent Selection and Education, The Talents Project, and the Talent Habitat Project, is to attract and retain the best and brightest talent- educators, researchers, and engineers.

UPDATE [10:04pm]: About 20 top management staff from semiconductor company Freescale Semiconductor were among 38 Malaysians onboard MAS flight MH370. The team comprising senior managers and managers were on their way to China to undergo a month-long course in Beijing. Full story here.
Freescale are one of the worlds first and leading semiconductor manufacturers. Specialising in industrial semiconductors and controllers, including those with military applications. Not only do they provide hardware to companies like Raetheon amongst others, but also have a history of partnership as part of DARPA/defence funded research. Freescale were bought out (in 2006) by a consortium that includes the Carlyle group (Bush sr. et al) and Blackstone.
Recently they developed this:

Likely this all amounts to nothing, even with recent reports that the US are concerned about and investigating the terrorist angle. 20 top management staff from a cutting edge US tech manufacturer, who develop and supply scifi industrial and military hardware all being on a flight heading to China, which suddenly disappears and whose last point of contact may have been with US forces, is probably more just tragic coincidence than evidence of something more unusual.
Honestly though, I hope there are survivors and my heart goes out to the families and friends who had loved ones on board.

But.... tomorrow is another day.
Interesting and never knew that, but it makes sense to have valued and critical personnel on staggered flights and travel arrangements. Like families traveling separately in case of disaster.

With what Kinetis KL02 chip, you could have a micro-controller inside a bullet sized missile for a regular military weapon. There are already electronic range-finding systems for rifles. Imagine having a bullet-cam.
If that work was so critical why were 20 workers employed from China or even on the same flight together? Many companies use a third-party booking company that deliberately books flights so no more than a handful of employees are on any flight.

According to The Malaysian Insider, an English-language Malaysian news website, the 20 Freescale workers confirmed as passengers on the missing flight were part of a larger group of 29 managers en route to Beijing from Malaysia for a month-long training course. The remaining nine were scheduled to fly to Beijing on a separate flight.
You didn't even read your link correctly. Only nine were not on the flight. If they arrived in Bejing safely they would have to return that way. If the plane is missing, so are they.

So what do they benefit from this? A handful of low level workers that were going to China anyways? You do realize that they were heading to Beijing for training, right? And that the more important people, the 29 managers, weren't even on the flight.

The remaining nine were scheduled to fly to Beijing on a separate flight.
For something as big as making a 777 vanish out of the air and causing an major international scene, you would think they would care more about the higher ups rather than a bunch of trainees.

Hey it's just a hypothesis. No one so far has an answer, do they?
Why are missing passenger's mobile phones still ringing?
At least one relative of a Chinese passenger on board the missing flight has successfully been able to ring his mobile phone - but nobody answers.
Eerie video footage emerged of the family of the missing man ringing his phone live on state television.
The call connected, but no one picked up.
A group of passengers have reportedly handed a petition to Malaysia Airlines to reveal "the real truth" about what happened to the flight.
