Beijing, China – <\/strong>Just when you thought that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) ridiculous claims of sovereignty over far away places couldn’t get any more absurd, they’ve set their sights much higher, quite literally. As part of new posturing, apparently intended to distract China’s population amidst flooding, famine and and an economy in decline, the CCP announced that they have “irrefutable historical sovereignty over the moon”.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
