Yeah I call BS on that claim,  In the other photos you can see clear tracks in the dust where the rover goes

in the selfie the describe it as moving placing a wireless camera and then rolling back

umm I see no tracks where it rolled back

For everyone who can't read...

This photo was taken after the Zhurong rover (left) placed a camera about 10 meters from the landing platform (right) and then retreated to take a group portrait. The images were transmitted from the camera to the rover through wireless signals.

I'll just leave this here.

Capricorn One (1978): A NASA Mars mission won't work, and its funding is endangered, so they decide to fake it just this once. But then they have to keep the secret.
