So the plot is one or both pilots commandeers plane, climbs to 45K' to kill pax, turns around a flies to unknown location, lands plane, and now is planning to fuel it up and fly it into the Forbidden City or ?. Some govt would have to be complicit, and if they did land and intend to fly again, they'd end up with a fighter "escort" as soon as they were ID'd. Of course it is a big world, and softer target countries (Indonesia?) might not the capabilities to intercept.
This is all crazy...

I can't think of a better plot to ensure China just about turns Xinjiang into one big killing field or at least concentration camp. Any hint of Uighurs' fingerprints on this is going to be suicide for their entire race. China would have no compunction about wiping them off the map. Hans are already a majority in Xinjiang and this would be the excuse the gov't. needs to rally public support for really getting tough on them.
