Yutu is dead.
Apparently the rover was not prepped properly for the long lunar night and did not survive its second night.
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

In other words Chang, the rabbit is dead.
I wonder how many disciplinary lead pills were dispensed as a consequence of this failure? I saw a story about the unfortunate death of the engineer responsible for the Olympic snow flake opening failure, he apparently fell on a bunch of knives and was killed, so the story goes. I do not know how true that story is but it is illustrative of the two thuggocracies. Not like we are much better.

Why is satire funny? Because there are usually elements of truth contained within.
Too bad for Yutu. It will be interesting to see what they can continue to do with the lander.
Maybe this is something China should have imported from th U.S.!
Isn’t most of their technology originally from the U.S.? They have a funny attitude about intellectual property.
I guess we should be flattered.
Yes, for the most part it was taken from us against our wishes, espionage comes to mind.
Espionage? I think Clinton gave a good bit away to them. Remember how close he was to the Chinese and their money?
All right, treason then!

Sorry for the bad link. This should work.
Excellent Link Lois Johnson., as I am a fan of the BBC. It appears there are many More aspects to the story on Jade Rabbit than the national news here in the ‘States” ever reports. Thank You
