My question is what does it accomplishes for China? Foreign armies and terrorists can still get plane positions, only average citizen can't. What's the point?

The state might want to move people or things secretly by air.

As I said, just disable ADS-B transmission when doing shady stuff.

That would imply they have something to hide.

Or, they want some parties to know what they’re doing, but not the citizenry.

Maybe this is overly paranoid but I don’t think we should underestimate the Chinese government.
