China Discloses Plan for Crewed Lunar Landing Within Three Years

China has publicly outlined a timeline for landing astronauts on the Moon within the next three years. The plan, as reported by Ars Technica, is a landing mission rather than a crewed flyby. It does not resemble NASA's Apollo 8 or Artemis II, which only orbited the Moon without touching down. The disclosure signals the progress of China's lunar ambitions in its competition with the United States. Further details on the mission's architecture and schedule were not provided in the source material.
