Air Crashes Involving Chinese Planes Since 1982

I read in horror all the negative comments made by Chinese Nationals and some ungrateful Malaysians about how Malaysian Government is handling the Search and Rescue mission of flight MH370. As such i have been twitting extensively about this issue and trying to clarify some issues surrounding it. One fine day, one Chinese lady twitted to me a link in Chinese language to an article. The article showed the alarming history of Chinese aviation industry. As such, I have been trying to translate it using "Google translator" and cross checked it with wikipedia. So here it is, a list of 22 most deadly air crashes involving Chinese planes. 

1.1982 hit in China's civil aviation Trident Yangshuo Mountain crash

On 26 April 1982 CAAC Flight 3303 was on a flight from Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport to Guilin Qi Feng Ling Airport[1] in China. There were 104 passengers and 8 crewmembers on board the Hawker Siddeley Trident with the Registration B-266. Then, at 16:45, as Flight 3303 was on approach to the airport in heavy rain, it crashed into a mountain near the town of Yangshuo, China, breaking up and catching fire on impact. The accident killed all 112 people on board.
