It's to help control insect pests & fungus.
But certainly not every. single. tree. in. every. park?
I understand the reason why now... I'm just impressed at how widely
it's done in China. I am not sure I ever saw a single tree without
the white paint - at least not in the major parks in Kunming. Rural
Mojiang, it was less prevalent now that I think about it.

I think it must be easier to paint all of them the same way than it is
to identify the ones that need to be protected. Anyone can be given a
bucket of paint & instructed to paint all the tree trunks from the
ground to five feet.
The painter wouldn't have to know which ones are susceptible to fungus
or insects if he/she is going to paint all of them.
