Chinese scientists disagree that India was the first country in history to land on the South Pole of the Moon. Moreover, according to them, the Chandrayaan-3 mission did not even conquer the circumpolar region.
Here's What We Know In mid-summer 2023, a GSLV Mk III rocket sent the Pragyan rover with the Vikram landing module to the Moon as part of the Chandrayaan-3 mission. A few weeks later, the lunar rover landed on our planet's natural satellite.
One of the heads of the Chinese lunar programme Ouyang Ziyuan believes that technically Chandrayaan-3 is not the conquest of neither the South Pole nor the circumpolar region of the Moon. This is due to the fact that the landing module landed at 69° south latitude, 600 kilometres from the South Pole.
NASA considers the south polar region of the Moon to be the area between 80° and 90° south latitude. China defines it as between 88° and 90° south latitude because of the 1.5° tilt of the axis of rotation.
Ouyang Ziyuan cites Indian scientific texts that nowhere mention the pole or the sub-polar regions. Thus, the first spacecraft to land at the South Pole of the Moon could be a Chinese rover, which will go there in...

The USA should say we went to the moon in 1969 and planted a flag and we claim everything
Not just A flag. The American flag. If Trump were POTUS, that would be his official position. With Brandon sicking his dog on Secret Service agents from the oval office and doing China’s bidding, he’ll never even react.
India never said they conquered the South Pole.
Plus we went multiple times and I think we planted a flag each time
We should claim 100% of the moon if China wants to hardball with India like that, heck we helped India get their craft to the moon
Well, China just raised the issue. If India wants to disclaim, it’s a free planetoid.
The only reason for China to deny this claim is if they plan to claim it themselves at some point...
China and India in space — I suppose soon we will need to go where they went and clean up after them like we need to do on earth.
Chicoms are insane.
We can’t claim the moon. we signed a space treaty that we would not claim the entire moon. China seems to becoming the honey badger of countries who dismiss their failings but nitpick every other country for what they do or problems that have. China politics and policies are just a child playing in a sand box with a shovel and their cat’s turds screaming at everyone.
If there is a fight over the lunar South Pole , who will protect the gay moon penguins?
Exactly.
For civilized nations you’re right but with China dealing with India that way would make me say, okay we claim everything and China you have a claim on nothing
China, the US was there first. Keep your damn chopsticks to yourself. The US claims and owns the moon.
Now they want the Moon, too.
For them to “conquer” the moon’s South Pole, wouldn’t they need to have a 7-11 there and keep it staffed?
Bingo!
But they’ll have to get their man or rover, or whatever, onto the South Pole, which they say they’re not ready to do yet until 2026. No worries, Xi. Brandon will give you permission to steal more tech, not that you need any.
They didn’t “conquer” him. They bought him.
