The reason the Apollo astronauts suits wore out so quickly was the lunar dust. It was sharp and jagged specifically because there is no means of weathering on the moon to smooth the dust particles down. They are like little knives. The craters are visible from a zillion years ago because there is no weathering. Ever see the American flag waving in the moon breeze?
As I recall, the flag they planted up there had a stiffening rod running along it's top edge to hold it open, because there was no breeze for it to unfurl into.
400 years ago, during the Age of Discovery in the Americas, if you planted your flag somewhere, that meant that you suddenly owned that place. We planted a flag on the moon, so what the hell is China doing on OUR moon, anyhow?

Great question
Maybe they see it as another real estate acquisition from the Yankee's.
