The Taiwanese government has issued a report saying that at the beginning of last week they received an anonymous call about an alleged terrorist plot targeting Beijing’s main airport. This information they relayed to Beijing last Tuesday, March 4.
While the Taiwanese Aviation Police Bureau could not confirm the veracity of the anonymous call they did increase security for luggage and flights leaving for Beijing.
Tsai Der-sheng, director-general of Taiwan’s National Security Bureau, has cautioned against linking this to the missing Malaysian Airlines flight 370, which disappeared on March 8, saying “Taiwan has already alerted China regarding the information…We believe this incident doesn't have a high correlation with the missing Malaysian aircraft," according to the Wall Street Journal.

The threat was probably just some ignorant Chinese businessman that was overheard saying "if the plane tries to leave without me, I swear to god I'll call in a bomb threat." It has in-fact happened before.. several times.
