I wouldn't be surprised if the Chinese eventually made a lunar landing. I'm just wondering if they'll ask the United Nations for permission to land because the entire lunar surface is U.N. owned and all commercial exploitation is specifically banned by the U.N. Moon Treaty.

Neither China nor America ratified the UN Moon Treaty. For some reason --perhaps the haze from the 60s was beginning to wear off--, America had begun to wake up when that one came around for signature. We should also withdraw from the 1967 UN Outer Space Treaty.
