If reinforcing national security is called censorship then the same things is in full effect in the US as well as shown in the Manning's recent conviction and sentence.
This is not exactly the censorship that restricts some wannabe artist talking shit about the political leadership.

Do not forget, in China the community of bloggers who published pics of such with at least some credibility (aka a trustworthy source), is actually of a very small one, and the nature of China's internet structure that means the state security apparatus knows exactly who they are. In essence, what they could publish at any time is a controlled and calculated affair by the state, so by muddling the pic but not that much "shows" something is happening, but not disclosing exactly where and when.
A trickling effect of information release, if you may, just that China doesn't play it out as classy as the West does, that's all.
There is this running joke of Chinese leakers frequently claiming that they simply found the pictures in lost memory sticks that they happen to have picked up. Or it was a CD, removable hard drive, or even a floppy!
Other times they just claimed to have got inspirations from dreams, lol, and draw something similar but not exactly the same to the original leak.

Well we know what makes sense and what doesnt
The carrier build at Dalian is very likely, why wouldn't it be, Liaoning has certified it fists pilots and the programme is in full swing, infact the design was probably finalised few years back with long lead materials ordered in recent time
I expect the coming google map images later in the year will show carrier production at Dalian, I also fully expect the carrier to have similarities to the Liaoning minus the inherit design flaws which PLAN has identified during the rebuild, that makes sense, if we don't see google images we could learn from of the confirmation from government officials before hand
The images of the module at JNCX are possibly older, a flat top at that yard also make sense, building two flat tops is not beyond the scope of Chinese shipyards both at the same time
Also the timing is correct too, before this year is out we will have some solid information on what's at stake here

Of course China could build two carriers in different yard concurrently - technically. But money is also an issue, carriers are not cheap. The Chinese defense budget has never seen any single procurement that expensive ( not even SSBN's).

Or we could all pitch in $100 and order a satellite image ourselves.

Has anyone watched the movie "Three Idiots"? The quadrotor depicted in it would be very useful here.

Sorry, but isn't it already accepted that the module is simply a demo piece and that the carrier with ski ramp is censored? The current situation should be the construction of one upgraded CV-16, not two Type 002.
