Clashes broke out when security personnel tried to resist attempts by some relatives from approaching reporters outside the embassy.
They shouted, “return our relatives and “the Malaysian government are murderers”.
The demonstration came a day after an announcement by Malaysian authorities that the Beijing-bound Boeing 777-200 had crashed in a remote part of southern Indian Ocean.
Last night, emotional and violent scenes prevailed at the hotel after Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak announced that the plane “ended” at the Indian Ocean off the Australian coast.
CCTV showed a statement released by relatives of Chinese passengers questioning the premise that the plane has crashed as stated by Razak.
The statement said there is no direct evidence to show the plane had crashed.
It also accused the Malaysian government of cheating the families and the world by withholding information which hindered the search operations and wasted valuable time.
A surprised Chinese government itself appeared to be questioning Razak's conclusion that the jet had crashed in southern Indian Ocean.
Chinese Deputy Foreign Minister Xie Hangsheng, who held a meeting with the Malysian Ambassador here last night, demanded Malaysia to provide “specific basis on which they come to this judgement”.
He demanded the Malaysian side to provide all information and evidence related to the analysis of satellite data.
