We WALKED on the MOON you dumb bung heads!
You Chinese ain’t nuthin but “ALSO RANS.”
Even the Russians, Indians and JAPANESE can beat your pathetic butts in the “SPACE RACE!” (Now THAT’S an old term!)

Methinks you have hit the nail, dead on the head.
IMHO, it didn’t survive the landing.
But, who am I to say?

Well, we had better have a good laugh at their expense while we still can. In another 10 years they will be having the last laugh.

It could just be very, very confused.

The Chinese are learning what we learned in the 60’s - you want to land on the moon, you deal with the Nazi moon base first. Or accidents happen. Rough neighborhood, knowwhumsayin’?

I wasn’t paying much attention. I thought it drove around for a bit before it died.
