The black line indicates that it is “guessing” the location. It isn’t the actual flight path, just the algorithm guessing where it is based on speed and destination.

There is another from the same operator, lost signal in around the same spot and is currently estimated to be over Lybia. Note that everything with the gray line is just an estimate based on last known course, they could really be anywhere within a circle centered on their last known position with the outer boundary about where the estimate is. It’s also possible that they were shot down or crashed.
Edit: second plane is clx9875

cargo plane that took off from China

Why so low?
