This while going to the moon thing by China is a propaganda ploy. Their goal is to make sure that they are ready to deploy weapons in space to attack our intelligence, surveillance and recon assets and advance their ICBM capabilities. What exactly is on the moon besides the American flag and our footprings that we should feel threatened by China going up there?

There's nothing on the moon... yet. The Chinese appear to be willing to set up extended operations there. If mining/manufacturing facilities can be set up there, and there is no reason to believe this isn't in their long range
plans, then they can build assets there with military utility. They could decide to build a small mass driver that
could hurl payloads to Earth. If we don't do our homework, there will be nothing we can do to defend against
this. It would be as bad as having a fire breathing dragon fluing over our heads. ;)
