From the Wikipedia article
The Far Eastern Air Transport Flight 128 hijacking (Entō Kōkū 128-bin haijakku jiken) was a hijacking that occurred in the Republic of China (Taiwan).
It was a domestic Taiwanese flight, but because the hijacker demanded a flight to the People's Republic of China, it headed for mainland China.
