Literally every single aspect from the physics to the tactics is so far from plausible that it's not worth considering.
That’s not a reason. I laid out why it’s a good idea, if you can’t say why it’s ridiculous then do pipe down.
No, you laid out your ignorance for everyone to point out. Which they have. It's stupid to even contemplate.
But if you need me to spell it out for you, think of the difficulties involved with weapons-grade tracking of a large surface combatant at thousands of kilometres. Then try applying them to a far smaller, faster, and more maneuverable target moving in three dimensions.
You are underestimating China, any schoolboy now knows you can use satellites for this, or how about those drones just displayed, especially designed for long range stealth ISR.
It is you that is ignorant to not consider these basic just displayed capabilities.
Any other reasons why it is ridiculous?
No, you can't use satellites for this. Which is why AMTI replacing E-7 and so forth is such a fiasco. The technololgy is simply not there yet.
And if you have manned or unmanned aircraft within sensor range, then you can just, yknow, load those same aircraft with long-range AAMs. Which PLAAF is of course already doing. Because they aren't as stupid as you are.
You are underestimating China. You are actually using the US space force as a benchmark for Chinas satellites despite us all knowing China is way ahead in terms of radar and ew and satellite communications.
Did you know Chinas 6g satellites can communicate AND sense? How do you know what Chinas satellite tracking capabilities are? Please show some evidence so we can judge the quality of your argument.
Your claim that China can’t do this because the Space Force can’t do this is very weak And your inability to even consider it shows your closed mindedness. Ridiculous, is I think how you put it.
While the technical specifics of satellite capabilities are closely guarded secrets, if you want to claim that Chinese capabilities are years or decades ahead of US counterparts in AMTI, then the burden of proof is very much on you. US is nowhere close to this by their own admission. You are making an extremely bold claim without any evidence whatsoever.
You can whine about "closed-mindedness" all you want, but nobody is obligated to humour your stupidity.

As you say I can’t prove it, but Chinas progress in 6G makes it likely they can use this for tracking large un-stealthy aircraft from space.
Can’t you just consider that plausible for now?, then we can actually discuss what is important… the implications!
Because this thread is about PLA systems instead of imaginary fantasies? I'm sure you can discuss this elsewhere.
