China becomes Second nation to plant flag on the Moon.
China capital : Beijing
China curreny : Renminbi
China president : xi jinping
China has become the second country in the world to hoist its national flag on the lunar surface. This feat was achieved only by the United States, before its flag was placed on the moon during the Apollo mission in 1969. China achieved the historic feat during the 'Chang 5 of China' investigation, which was launched to collect soil and rock samples. The lunar surface took off from the moon on 3 December 2020 to return to Earth after planting the national flag.
If the return trip is successfully completed, China becomes the only third country in the world to take samples from the Moon. Until now, this record was only maintained by the United States and the Soviet Union in the 1960s and 1970s.
