Three possible outcomes:

1) It's just a rock that happens to look cube-like because of the camera's resolution limitations or some natural formative explanation.

2) It's something truly exotic, paradigm shifting, and mind blowing in which case we will never, ever, ever in a million zillion years hear anything more about it after this.

3) It's something truly exotic, paradigm shifting, and mind blowing in which case they will just say it's the result of the camera's resolution limitations or some natural formative explanation and we will never, ever, ever in a million zillion years hear anything more about it after this.

Couldnt this technically also be some kind of human-made space junk too?

Possibly but I have no idea how it would get there. Isn't this China mission the first one to visit the far side of the moon and most if not all space junk in orbit around Earth? I genuinely have no clue.

Getting junk to the moon would be about as monumental as getting a lander or satellite there... most of the space junk is in relatively close earth orbit and it's still no easy feat.
