China's Moon Base Plans: Building with Lunar Soil by 2028.

China plans to start building a lunar base using lunar soil within five years, according to Chinese media. The country has made significant progress in space exploration, including launching its own crewed space station. NASA has previously warned that China may try to claim resource-rich areas of the moon if it gets there first. China plans to use traditional Chinese building techniques to make habitats on the moon using bricks made from lunar soil. The US also plans to build a permanent base on the lunar south pole, but has not set a clear timeline for construction.
