Yup look like they have installed the radar and clean up the island quite a bit. Less scaffolding than before!

Do I see the wire trap here ? or something else

I think it is watershed moment Here Henri K take on the subject. It won' be long before she will embark on trial. 3 years and seventh month from steel cutting. Fast construction Congrat. 6 months builder trial, final painting, dock time. Then 6 more month of acceptance test, she will be commissioned 1 year from now
Seven months after it was launched, the 2nd Chinese aircraft carrier received its APAR radars at the top of the superstructure. Photo via 蓝 鲨 小队.

I know you jest, but I can't help it (channeling Deino):
1) The window wipers on PLAN ships are mounted externally above the windows, and thanks to the clarity of the photo, I can tell that they have yet to be installed.
2) I can actually make out the words Xi Jinping and Chairman on those red banners.
3) And also, the optical landing system has been installed.
