Very cool, ngl.
The camo seems pretty effective too.

Can you guys dig up the unit and it's role?

This is a Type-19 Xingkong (Chinese: 星空; 'Starry sky'), military camouflage pattern adopted in 2019 by all branches of PLA.

I think turning "Emergency landing strips" into actual temporary austere airbases will require a fair bit of investment in equipment and training. But it's probably something that needs to be done to survive PLA's long range fires.
which talk about operating from temporary airfields

The images of this area in GE are a goldmine, quite recent and exquisite resolution. I could estimate around 1600-1800 vehicles (including trucks, tanks, artillery, SAM systems etc) - should be worth multiple CABs. Also this area has been imaged quite frequently so you can do a historic comparison too.

In a rare sighting, probable HQ-16 SAM deployment was seen near Korla, Xinjiang in this imagery from August 2021
