Not technically a laser, but a directed energy weapon nonetheless. Since we also post railgun information in this thread I decided not to open a new one.
This is the Chinese active denial system. It has a range of 80 meters on default setting but could affect targets 1000 meters away after boosting the power level. Some experts believe that it may be installed on Maritime Surveillance ships for use in the South China Sea.

I was reading an article from the US media on this. The US version got a lot of attention and was deployed in Afghanistan. It was never used there because in part it was said to take a long time to start-up but the main reason was conspiracy theories. If they used it on Afghanis, the conspiracy theories over its "real" use would stir even greater anger and more of a headache for the US to bother. So the article basically spelled out how they'll use it against China.
Yes.
Here are some stats:
1. Interception range: >= 2 kilometers
2. tracking/warning range: >= 5 kilometers
3. Wattage: 8-10 KW
4. Interception range: Bearing: 0~360 degrees, Pitch: 0~85 degrees
5. target destruction: 3 to 6 seconds

Oh, the threat from a drone is real and frightening. Anyone can buy a DJI online and fly it out of the box on the same day it arrives.
Maybe they are developing a bigger system for both the army and navy for point defense against subsonic cruise missiles.

I believe developing a bigger system is something to take for granted. They are already doing laser R&D and especially so is the the superpower.
