One Chinese has been confirmed aboard the deadly flight of Kenya Airways Saturday when it crashed in southern Cameroon earlier in the day.

The Chinese person, an employee with south China's Shenzhen-based Huawei Technologies, was on business in Kenya, said a person in charge of the company's public relations department, who declined to be named.

The company has established contact with China's embassy to Kenya and sent people to the scene for the aftermath, said the source.

According to an earlier report, the Kenya Airways plane carried 115 people, of whom six are Chinese. The condition of the Chinese passengers is still unknown.

Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd., a leader in providing telecommunications networks, has set up eight headquarters and more than 100 branch offices in the world.
