Chinese Military Plans to Destroy GPS Satellites
The Chinese military is reportedly developing both the means and contingency plans to "destroy or temporarily incapacitate every enemy space vehicle when it is located above China," according to the annual report of the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission. "The Chinese also plan to ATTACK U.S. GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEMS (GPS) satellites through various means, including anti-satellite weapons, high-energy weapons, high-energy weather monitoring rockets and ground attacks on earth-based stations."

Are they going to paint their weapons with lead based paint?
What else is new? It is just prudent to plan ahead. After all, we have plans on how to destroy every single city in China too.
GPS satellites are US owned and are around 36000 KMS from Earth. That's a long ass way... but the US are not the only ones with GPS like capabilities. Russia, France, Europe and Japan also have similar satellites. Are they going to attack them all? I'd be interested to know where the picture came from. Green lasers are usually used to measure distances to satellites.
KMS is a speed in Kilometers a second (thats 1000 meters each and every second), not a distence. That value you got is how fast a satellite travels around the earth, but there distence is realy only in the 10s or 100s of miles above the earths surface (mb 1000s if its a realy heavy satellite), not that far for a missle.
