What does that to a winglet? An engine fragment... shrapnel from an explosive... another aircraft... a drone... a rare bird... a piece of space junk... [scratches head]
AFAIK winglets do not break apart by themselves.

1. Your point is valid.
2. Perhaps the UPPER PORTION of the winglet fell off-site? (Trailing edge/outer edge/Chinese-English translation noise).
3. I don’t believe that arrived ATTACHED to the plane. The leading edge (actually, the whole thing) is in great shape. Can’t recall seeing that big of a piece of stuff from steep impacts. I make a modest bet that broke off shortly before the crash, fluttered, slowed and landed gently (gently in a relative sense). If it crashed attached, I’d expect the leading edge to be majorly scrunched, if not mostly disintegrated (like the tail planes are).Les règles de l'aviation de base découragent de longues périodes de dur tirer vers le haut.

Flight data shows China Eastern jet deliberately crashed: report (msn.com)
Interesting - maybe true or internet false info.
But sounds plausible seeing that the 737-Max fleet was put back into service

Do investigators have the CVR read out? If so, and if there were a struggle, it would be plainly obvious.
I would like to know if the descent was proceeded by an upset. We have seen repeatedly what somatogravic illusion can do to an unprotected 737.

A deliberate action could either be a malicious act or an erroneous one. The CVR should provide that missing piece of the puzzle. We shouldn't jump to the conclusion that this was a murdercide given all the other crashes that resulted from flawed pilot perceptions and the limits of the human mind. In any case, it's been perfectly clear since the turn of the century that we shouldn't be producing unprotected airliners in this one. No airliner should be capable of a greater than -20deg pitch command. I'm looking at you, 737-Max.
Now, where is that CVR data?

i've got $100 that says this was deliberate malicious. any takers?
the CVR transcript is in the same place as the indonesian one...

i'm basing it on the fact that they've had the cvr for more than long enough to determine what went on in that cockpit. knowing that the chinese are, well, the chinese, if there were evidence to suggest or prove that it was anything other than intentional, they would've revealed that immediately. kinda, sorta, nay, EXACTLY the same way the indonesians have had the cvr for many months and have not revealed what likely occurred--a huge pilot eff-up, thus smearing their already bad reputation even further. they are intentionally not releasing the transcript in hopes that the world forgets a little and maybe buys the line that the small issue boeing talked about on that model was the root cause.
while i dont blindly believe all the leaks and other crap that comes from my govt, i doubt it would release a statement so damaging to an already strained relationship with another super-power without knowing something we dont.
satisfied?
spatial/somatogravic disorientation led to a 30,000' near vertical dive with a brief "recovery" followed by another near vertical dive? ok, put your money where your keyboard is. $100.
