Very true but a side loaded app can do so much more. Possibly even act as a key logger. Definitely provide info about all your whereabouts during protests.

Good thing being able to sideload an app also implies that you can detect and disable or remove offending apps.

Something Apple still doesn't let you do.

You can detect it, but I wouldn't be sure they allow you to remove other apps.

Certainly, once a device enters into China, it should be considered breached and insecure.
