Meng flew to Kunming early on Sunday morning for an on-the-ground investigation into an alleged terrorist attack, which left 29 victims and four alleged assailants dead and 143 injured.
Kunming police have arrested a female assailant believed to have been involved in the incident, while the remaining attackers are still at large.
