China's manned space program office says the country plans to launch the Tiangong-2 space lab around 2015. The engineering work is being carried out.

China plans to put in orbit an experimental space station core module around 2018. The goal is a complete space station by 2020. The program also calls for a series of cargo and manned spacecraft to deliver material supplies and transport astronauts to the future space lab and space station.
