I can't read the Chinese but I am guessing the mean civilian as opposed to military airport. I doubt it's civilised!

Maybe this is a newly constructed airport , which is up to the standard of a modern airport.

At last a ' CIVILIZED ' Airport . . . how creative! And it would not be surprising if they actually mean it!

The Chinese indeed does say, "civilized," and what that means is that when you go in, the Communist party won't randomly search your stuff, declare you a counter-revolutionary and throw you into jail for life.
