Alors que le porte-avions Lianoning et ses navires d'escorte sont passés par là le 11 Juin pour franchir la 1ère chaîne d'îles, un avion de renseignement électronique Y-9JZ de la marine chinoise a aussi survolé le détroit de Miyako ce dimanche pour entrer au Pacifique de l'ouest.

Missile containers on railway flatbeds. The tall building in the background belongs to CASIC. What kind of missiles are these, I wonder. They appear to be naval, based on the looks of the containers.

I think by "canister" you meant the packing box for transportation, not the canister of a launch system.

The dimension of the rail car is 13 meter by 3 meter. The length of the box is between 8 and 9 meters. The width is about 1 meter (divided by 2 after subtracting 3 by gaps 0.5m*2). It fit very well to the "supposed" dimension of CJ-10/CJ-20/DF-10 CMs etc.

The colour of the box can be for the air force as well. Like the photo I find from google randomly (H-6 and missiles).

The word "canister" never once appeared in my original post. ;)

I am pretty sure that China's shipyards does gives out holidays for its workers, and any shipwrights working over the holidays would be given extra pay, and the issue of working triple shifts can be easily debunked by the fact that we have never seen any late night or even evening photos of any ships in constructions.
More importantly, China's shipyard workers do organise strikes when they feel like they are getting the short end of the stick like back pay, so the less that is said of even more important factors like ample rest and leisure time said the better. So the idea that major state owned shipyards like Dalian would be treat such skilled and valuable workers in such a fashion is a little disbelieving.

Therefore this once again fear-mongering report from him must in fact be headlined:
