The bright dots are't stars.

are we sure that video is even real?
It has a CGI feel to it, but I could only get the video to run for about 2 seconds

Stars in space don't pulse. No atmosphere...

hinese Lunar Exploration Program (CLEP) (simplified Chinese: 中国探月; traditional Chinese: 中國探月; pinyin: Zhōngguó Tànyuè), also known as the Chang'e program, is a program of robotic and human missions to the Moon undertaken by the China National Space Administration (CNSA), the space agency of the People's Republic of China. The program makes use of the Chang'e lunar orbiters, lunar rovers and sample return spacecraft, launched on adapted Long March 3A, Long March 5/E and Long March 7 launch vehicles. Launches and flights are monitored constantly by a Telemetry, Tracking and Command (TT&C) system, which uses 50-m radio antennas in Beijing and 40-m antennas in Kunming, Shanghai and Ürümqi to form a 3,000-km VLBI antenna.[1][2] A proprietary ground application system is responsible for downlink data reception.
China launched Chang'e-1 in 2007 and Chang'e-2 in 2010. The first probe collected a large body of data and a completed map of the moon. The second mission greatly enhanced the resolution of the previous map and generated a high-definition image of Sinus Iridium, a plain of basaltic lava, considered by lunar observers to be one of the satellite's most beautiful features.

They are not CGI images, the Cheng'E mission was a year or two ago. The Chinese sent up a high def satellite which did have a CGI'ish look to the feed that came back, but it was the first high def imaging of the moon if I remember correctly.
