I believe it is a Mistral...or maybe even the Canberra, though I have followed that one closely and do not believe a picture like that matches.
Anyhow, no answer specifically as to where or when. The pics are showing up on a few Chinese blog sites right now...but I am looking for the originals.
I asked the same questions.

The pattern of white characters on red signage at the bottom left of the upper photo does not resemble Chinese, even though it is very blurry. Based on that I have to guess that these photos were not taken in China.

I am in touch with my suppliers here in the states and in China and will order one by Monday to be the center piece of my PLAN ARG that I will be building (already have a FFG and three DDGs to go with it) to go along with the PLAN CSG I have already built (Liaoning, two Type 054As, one Type 52C, and the latest Han sub - but waiting for a model of the Type 093 or 095 SSN).
This model will have Photo Etch railings, deck and sensor details and about 900 injection molded plastic parts. Two Z-8 Helicopters, and I am hoping at least one LCAC. Looks to be very comparable to the Gallery models and Bronco models 1/350 scale San Antonio class models that are out there which I already own for my US Navy ARG.
Great stuff.[/QUOTE]
UUUhhhhh, Dude... how big is your house?

My Model Shop is about 14ft x 10ft, but has a lot of shelving.
Some of the vessels are displayed in other rooms. We have about 2,800 sq ft altogether.
Got to the following link and scroll down to see the shop.

The forward half, with the island is being built in France. The aft section is being built in Russia. They will be joined together and completed in Russia.
Crazy how some fanboys will take pictures posted of another nation's build, and then try and put it forward as a new build of their own country. I have never understood that mentality, irrespective of the nationality (because it is not isolated to one place).
It is, in fact, a part of the French build for the new Mistral Class for the Russians.

This is from a trolling post (if a sort known as 'title gang') which was outed in under 5 posts in two of the more prominent fora. The title was 'small flat top under construction in the North'... just a little further North than Dalian.
IOW, hardware, be more careful next time.
