hmmm, this is yet more proof that China needs to make their own planes and have it up to its standards, not that of the USA because if one looks at the current crap that has happened with Boeing nowadays should be a key sign that the USA quality is not worthy of any trust or praise. If any one remembers what Harvey dent says about that gun that was made in China in that batman movie, I will now say that really, this is want being made in America is all about nowadays and that anything made in China is simply too good for such a worthless country that prints toilet paper to survive

RIP to the passengers. The chance of anyone surviving this is minuscule.
Btw how did it hit the mountain? Did it lose power midflight and was uncontrollable?

Engine failure? Chances of any survivors are pretty much zero.
Yeah but there might also be a control failure. From my understanding even with engine failure the airplane shouldn't be falling like that.
It almost fell vertically..

Obviously i am not a pilot, but shouldn't the pilot be able to control the airplane to go lower in order to preserve speed and then try to crash-land with a low angle of attack?

There might be a mechanical failure in controlling the airplane
