Lin Xiqiang introduced that recently, the lunar landing phase mission of my country's manned lunar exploration project has been launched and implemented. The overall goal is: to achieve the first Chinese landing on the moon before 2030, to carry out lunar scientific expeditions and related technical experiments, to break through and master key technologies such as manned round-trip between the Earth and the Moon, short-term stay on the lunar surface, and joint human-machine exploration, to complete multiple tasks such as "landing, patrolling, collecting, researching, and returning", to form an independent manned lunar exploration capability, which will promote the leapfrog development of manned space technology from near-Earth to deep space, deepen human understanding of the origin and evolution of the moon and the solar system, and contribute Chinese wisdom to the development of lunar science.

At present, the China Manned Space Engineering Office has fully deployed and carried out various research and construction work, including the development of a new generation of manned carrier rockets (Long March 10), a new generation of manned spacecraft, lunar landers, lunar suits and other flight products, and the construction of relevant test and launch facilities and equipment at a new launch site.

Lin Xiqiang, deputy director of the China Manned Space Engineering Office and spokesman for the project, said that "Chang'e flying to the moon" is a household myth in China, and "reaching the moon in the sky" is a vivid pursuit of the Chinese nation to overcome difficulties and challenge itself. At present, China has fully built and started operating a space station, and the Chinese will go further in exploring space.
