Default China Moon Base

Why not? They've already got a "Deep Space Station" in Argentina:

"A secret Chinese 'space station' built deep in Argentina's Patagonia region
could be finished by the end of the year.

Four years ago leaders from the two countries worked on a deal to build the
'Deep Space Station'.

The counties have talked about a 'ground station in the Southern Hemisphere' to
support the program for 'moon exploration and other space activities'

But there are concerns the base will have a more military focus than one of
space exploration."

And after the moon base...


China to build first Mars simulation base:

"China is to build its first base to simulate conditions living on Mars in a
desert area deep in the country’s northwest, state media reported.

An agreement to build a “Mars village” at Haixi prefecture in Qinghai province
was signed on Tuesday, according to the China News Service.

The region on the Qinghai-Tibet plateau is known for its sharp ridges and mounds
of rock – known as yardangs – formed over centuries by wind erosion. They mirror
similar features found on the arid surface of the Red Planet."
