The plane was a Boeing 737–800 that had flown for nearly seven years. It was not a 737 Max, the model that was grounded worldwide after two fatal crashes in 2018 and 2019 that were caused by a faulty flight stabilizing system.
China’s top leader, Xi Jinping, quickly issued a statement calling for rescuers to do their utmost and “handle the aftermath in a proper manner.”
The black box was sent overnight to a professional civil aviation agency in Beijing for decoding. The download and decoding of the recorder data takes time, and may take longer if the internal storage unit is damaged.
Regarding whether there were any Taiwanese on board, the Taiwan branch of China Eastern Airlines told this newspaper earlier, "It is not convenient for me to answer your question, but I have already forwarded it to the headquarters."
