Zoom in and check out the huge camouflage job on the large apron and road immediately north of the main strip.

Note the many fighters there, now.

Note the camo job on the hangars.

This airbase was made to handle a big surge of a/c —gosh I wonder what they’d be FOR, right...?

The Chinese have also installed TELs (transporter erector launchers) for their derivative of the S300 at Shuimen Air Base:

The camouflage of the north taxiways and aprons is likely done digitally to obscure whats there. Its to well defined to be netting, so one an assume there are a few hundred AC there.

China is gettin ready to move. Obama likely knows all of this, and is deceiving America and Japan yet again by pretending its not happening.
