Chinese has declared that their ship in the area which is part of multinational search effort, has detected a "Pulse Signal" in southern Indian Ocean waters, China's official news agency reported.
Haixun 01, which is a black box detector picked up a signal at 37.5 Hz per second on Saturday at around 25 degrees south latitude and 101 degrees east longitude, according to the Associated Press news agency.
Although it is still not clear that the signal has any relation with missing jet and Australian government agency coordinating the search had not yet commented on the report.
Despite of intense multinational search and multiple claims, Malaysian Boeing 777, which was disappeared on March 8 is yet to be founded.
China is becomes leading country to clue twice, first by providing the satellite pictures of more than 120 pieces of possible debris about 1200 km from Western Australian coast and now claiming that its ship has received a ping in the area.
This search creates an intense competition among developed nations and the country which would be able to find the missing Boeing will prove that it had got a superior technology of all and so far China is superseding rest of the world in the search competition.
