You need to actually read what I put. The link posted (not by me) works just fine, China's website is not easy to navigate but it releases new images regularly. I never said they had these photos on their site yet, quite the opposite. Your issue is that they aren't photographing and releasing what you want when you want it - your complaint needs to go to them, not me.
Now, because you don't seem able to navigate the Chinese website without someone holding your hand, here are some links for you:

I count roughly 10000 images from the rover there.

Your efforts are appreciated but too much is being made of images that do not satisfy my optical nerves. What you see is what you get: fuzzy, over-pixelated images and wishful thinking. We have to wait and hope that superior, clear closeups will make the scene!
I completely agree that we need more images! However, it seems that China has tapped out, on releasing new images... after only publishing a total of THREE images! (That's counting both times that it was a big story in the news; it actually seems like there were more images published, but it's really only 3.)
So unfortunately, we're only left with the ONE image that actually shows the background.
(The posters above CLAIMED that there was a dump of 5,000 pics, but their link was not usable, and for all intents & purposes, they seemed to completely fabricate that claim, and then they both agreed with each other about it, lol. Talk about an INSIGHT into people's intentions, lol!)
...........
Now just for reference, like for anyone new who might be jumping into the thread at this late point, I'll just re-embed the image that we're discussing, the only ONE image that actually shows the background:
Brightened:
And then the close-up shot, which at first seemed so exciting, turns out to have its background blacked out with MS Paint paint-bucket, it would seem:
Brightened:
And finally, the new THIRD image, seems deliberately to AVOID the background, as much as possible, plus it's all low-resolution (compared to the original 2 images in much higher res).
Still, the edges of the background DO seem to contain forms.
Original:
Brightened and oversaturated, it's amazing that there's so much yellow color in the soil... as if maybe gold, or maybe just yellow sand:
Gee, if it's asking you to login I wonder what could be the solution there?
Hmm...maybe register an account? Crazy I know. Try using your initiative to see how that might be done.
If the links don't work, how did you see what was on the pages?
They work fine, otherwise you wouldn't have been able to provide that screenshot now would you?
Your links are to garbage webpages of a website that you won't clearly identify, and the site doesn't clearly identify itself either.
Your linked pages are lists of unlabeled, unidentifiable, unviewable items. This is called not working.
Again, the topic here is that YOU FALSELY CLAIMED an image dump, accessible at your link. It's not.
You lied. It's on permanent record here in the thread, wtf is wrong with you lol.
All the images are free, no-one is asking you to pay. I can't wait to hear you whine about it being in an impossible to open format.
Now, I'm not one for running to the mods, but there's gotta be some terms of service rules about calling people liars when the only problem is someone's inability to use the internet.
For anyone new to the thread, it's about someone not understanding jpeg compression.
You posted a screenshot of a webpage that links you claim don't work took you to, and that screenshot id clearly showing a list of things you claim aren't there.
moon.bao.ac.cn is the Chinese Space Agency's website for its moon and mars data.
All you need to do is register...
...and there are thousands of images freely available to anyone with even a modicum of competence.
I have not lied...
you can add the internet to the list of things you need help understanding.
I certainly have better things to do than spoonfeed a tantrum throwing toddler who isn't getting his own way.
