I have to wonder if China will then claim that they own the moon.

And the United States will be investigating Boeing for its failure to live up to its contracts as the Chinese establishment their settlement…
SpaceX is our only hope, and a Space Karen/Elon involved who knows where this will lead.

I’m not a physicist, so don’t blast me, but wouldn’t it be more difficult to land stuff on the Moon’s southern pole?

Ten years is not unrealistic considering that much of the technology already exists. Purpose built systems need to be built and tested, but all the technology you need for a Lunar base is already working on the ISS and China’s own space station. Only exception is dust management.
Mining and other activities may take many additional years, but a simple research oriented base station seems perfectly feasible.

China will be a third world nation again by 2035. They might make it by next year. How can they claim to be able to do this while the Chinese economy is burning to the ground? China is going to be busy trying to survive in the near term.
