China Claims Ownership Of Pluto
BEIJING - After NASA's successful flyby of Pluto with its New Horizons spacecraft, China has published a statement that they own the dwarf planet.
The sovereign state's statement has been partially translated and contained the following claims:
"The People's Republic of China is the rightful owner of the ninth planet Pluto. When it was declared by the majority that Pluto was no longer a planet, we did not lose hope for it. That is why our people, the Chinese people, have been designated by the heavens to step foot on the 9th planet and nobody else."
Netizens took to Twitter and Facebook to protest China's claims and trended the topic #PlutoIsAFreePlanet for 15 minutes before being out-trended by #AwwPlutoHasAHeart.
