Couldn't add this the the original thread (China Eastern 737 crash), but the cause seems to have been reported as a state secret.

NTSB Leak: China Eastern 737 Crashed After Both Engines Were Shut Off Inflight

Here’s exactly what we’ve now learned about the sequence of events:

• Both engines were shut down almost simultaneously using the fuel cutoff switches (and on the 737, those can both be moved at once, even with one hand)
• Almost immediately thereafter, the autopilot was disconnected
• The control column was then pulled hard left and pushed forward, putting the plane into an inverted barrel roll
