Pardon me for not being a specialist in civil and military engineering, but -
What do those satellite imageries intend to tell?
Is that a camouflaged top cover for the missile silo?
They are no longer domesday devices.
They are more for environmental control during construction.
Outside, it's freezing, windy and sandy.
DF-15B launch.

Abandoned RRW was similar design.
Basically W76 warhead in a larger W88 body with cheaper price, easier maintanace, less toxic materials, more common materials like stainless steel. That means desing was less effecient but better in most other ways.

China certainly prepared for any Japanese launch in the future

MELBOURNE, Australia — A satellite photo has revealed that China has built a new long-range, early-warning radar that can be used to detect ballistic missiles from thousands of miles away, likely giving it coverage of all of Japan.
The image, taken on February 2022 by commercial satellite imagery company Maxar Technologies and published on Google Earth, show that a new Large Phased Array Radar, or LPAR, has been built at an existing mountaintop site in Yiyuan County, Shandong Province, some 70 miles southeast of the provincial capital Jinan.
The new array is pointed in a northeasterly direction and was built sometime after November 2019. Its completion can potentially give early warning of ballistic missile launches from North and South Korea, most of Japan and even parts of Russia’s Far East.
The first LPAR at the site, located at 36°01′30″ N, 118°05′31″ E, is some 2,300 feet above sea level. It was finished sometime in 2013-2014 according to Google Earth’s historical imagery and is oriented towards the south-southeast, almost certainly to provide radar coverage of .
China is also known to operate additional LPAR sites at Lin’an in Zhejiang Province and Heilongjiang Province. These sites enable early warning coverage of Japan, the Korean Peninsula and Taiwan from multiple angles.(cont)

Also the korla LPAR (X-Band?) renovated
