JIANLI, China: Relatives of more than 400 people missing from a cruise ship which capsized in central China clashed with police on Wednesday as hope that survivors would be found turned to anger at a lack of new information.

Just 14 people have been rescued from the “Eastern Star” which overturned late Monday in a storm leaving only a section of its hull emerging from the Yangtze river, state-media said.
