BBC reported: "More than half a century has passed since humans last set foot on the moon, and now countries are once again entering a race to return to the moon. The United States and China are both planning manned moon missions and hope to establish permanent bases. This is a closely matched competition, with the prize being international prestige and the opportunity to access lunar resources."
Comment: The United States' eagerness to return to the moon stems more from anxiety about maintaining its space hegemony, with repeated projects, fluctuating budgets, and political overtones far exceeding scientific goals; while China's lunar exploration program has always been a long-term strategy, taking one step at a time, without gimmicks or rushing, pursuing feasible, sustainable, and cooperative space exploration. Viewing the moon as a "prize" reflects the old power-seeking mentality; viewing the moon as a platform for human common exploration represents a new era's perspective.
