Something very odd about this report. Still nil in the Western press, and the aircrew chat board PPRUNE make minimum mention. This is from the Chinese Peoples Daily but the report is dated Feb 2018 and says it happened on Jan 25th . Said to have been extingushed by cabin crew with "bottled water and beverage".

More questions than answers - what can be the motivation to publish it now? Looks like fake news - best ignore.
