How many ways are there to prove these are fake?

There're no stars in the sky.

The side of the lander that is in the shade shouldn't be visible because
there is no air to scatter the light and illuminate it.

Drawing lines through the shadows of the rocks points to the location of
the flood lights just off to the edge of the stage.

Obviously all done in a sound stage somewhere. ;-)

Quite right. What we call 'stars' are simply lights placed in the firmament, not
giant masses of hydrogen undergoing fusion.

Thus, the Moon is a light placed to rule the night, not a ball of rock on which a
person could stand, or on which a rover could roll.

This is being faked by Communist China to encourage atheism. But what was the
United States' excuse?

Of course...

Needed, as there are those who can say such things quite seriously.

You forgot to mention that all Chinese rockets are powered by
gunpowder, and there's no way a gunpowder rocket could carry a heavy
payload to the Moon.
