In response to the construction which is likely designed to supply the final Indian Army encampment before the LAC, China has set up several positions of varying size, including one with half-a-dozen tents right on (potentially beyond) the LAC, 500m from the Indian position.

Other newly* set up positions along the Galwan river on the Chinese side of the LAC look like this, mostly durable tents, vehicles and some structures. There are not any heavy weaponry or vehicles out in the open*. Together there are about 80 tents set up.

*as best I can tell

These appear new, as lower-resolution satellite imagery from April (via Planet) does not appear to show the largest encampment (#2 in the above tweet), but the resolution makes it hard to be sure.
The frontline Indian positions have also expanded significant in May, now containing roughly 60 tents, shared between the two positions closest to the LAC.

There also does appear to be limited grading and road construction happening closer to these positions within roughly 1.5km of the LAC (34.7654433, 78.1954017).
Futher back there is a warehouse style building under construction, approx 25x10m. No clue what it's for, but it's about 4km back from the LAC.
Finally, there are very considerable and large Indian positions along the Shyok floodplain near the DSDBO road. Some of these positions are permanent. Dark pins are new since May. Again, no obvious heavy weaponry or vehicles*

*one possible artillery, i think it's something else

Here's the potential artillery piece for someone else to judge, but by my reckoning it's more likely to be a flag or something. It looks higher than an artillery piece and doesnt seem to have any support infrastructure.
