You are right, They are removing trees and preparing the land as we speak. Locals already posted some videos.By checking google map. The three blue circled area are residential areas, they look newly built houses after Wenchang site was built. The nearest area to the 921 (CZ-5DY) launch pad is only 2 km.
Hainan province must pay a huge compensation to move those houses if this plan is to go forward.

The “Geely Future Mobility Constellation”, which provides centimeter accuracy for vehicle navigation including autonomous driving, will eventually consists of 240 satellites. Of these, 72 will be launched before 2025. So I guess China will probably have 2 independent GPS systems when it's done.
Geespace Successfully Launches First Nine Satellites
- Inaugural launch for an expected 240 satellite constellation, with first phase of 72 satellites expected to be completed by 2025.
- Geely Future Mobility Constellation to provide services for autonomous driving, logistics, drone navigation, mapping and other fields
- Sustainably developed satellites leave no debris after designed operating lifespan
- GeeSAT-1 is China’s first modular, high-resilience, high-performance, mass-produced satellite
