It's about a bit more than killing spy satellites.
If you can hit and destroy a satellite in orbit, you can also hit and destroy an ICBM in flight. Of course China probably, like the USA and Russia, set the test up so that failure would be unlikely. So, what is it we are up to now? Anti-anti-anti-anti-anti missles? The insanity continues unabated. |

They're on their way to doing that, but even the US has only recently developed the technology to shoot down missiles in flight and we're still not very good at it. Objects in orbit are far easier to destroy than suborbital, supersonic rockets, especially after they Mirv. In practice China would use this weapon to knock out missile launch detection satellites in the days leading up to a full scale attack.
