Being slapped with a five-star red flag!, The US Communist Party wants to show off the moon | USA | Republican Party
Recently, the Republican Party in the United States posted photos on social media, boasting that "there is only the American flag on the moon," but netizens slapped them with facts, and some even posted photos of the five-star red flag.
In this tweet on June 26th, the official Twitter account of the Republican National Committee in the United States posted a picture of "American astronauts landing on the moon" with a caption saying, "Have you ever seen flags of other countries on the moon? I don't think so."

However, such ignorant self deprecating remarks quickly attracted onlookers.
In the comment section, several people directly posted pictures of the Chinese flag on the moon as a response.

Another netizen bluntly stated, "Your tweet has been outdated for 50 years."
"Just search online and you'll find out." Someone accompanied a report by the British Broadcasting Corporation to educate the Republican Party of the United States on science: "More than 50 years after the United States first planted the Star Spangled Banner on the moon, China planted the national flag on the moon. This photo was taken by China's Chang'e-5 lunar probe."

This report also mentions the history of the United States planting flags on the moon. In 1969, during the Apollo 11 manned space mission, Americans planted the first flag on the moon, and in subsequent missions, Americans also planted five American flags.
However, according to satellite images from NASA in 2012, these flags have been in existence for many years and are likely to have faded due to the strong sunlight.
