Yes, Chinese astronauts have been to the moon. China successfully landed its Chang'e 5 spacecraft on the moon in December 2020, collecting lunar samples and returning them to Earth. However, Chinese astronauts (taikonauts) have not yet landed on the moon's surface.
As of now, no Chinese astronaut or person has physically touched or landed on the moon. China has sent several robotic missions to the moon, including the Chang'e series of lunar probes, but a Chinese astronaut setting foot on the moon has not yet occurred.
