Who said without?
Chinese CG ships have very obvious mobilization capabilities. Just not for peacetime.
p.s. CG 052 is an interesting reversal to something not unlike 052B.

Even if it's FFBNW, the effort to actually cut in and fit VLS cells into the hull would probably take more time and effort than changing the radar, especially since the layout has evidently changed. Deck launchers would be much easier, but I can't recall the PLAN having any (modern ones).
Could this be a future proofing move to anticipate possible future drone attacks?
Likely one of the 052DG DDGs of the new batch at Dalian in the background. Posted by @Tzo-Henci on Weibo.

Apart from pop3 and some academic papers - Not much.
Even with a successor, the tier currently occupied by the 052D/DG will remain separate to the tier of which the 055 is currently occupying.
