Plans to launch a space station were announced at the National People’s Congress on Wednesday.
The station will be launched in 2018 and will hopefully be completed in 2022, according to chief designer Zhang Bonan.

Another disaster waiting to happen. Just Google "Chinese rocket disasters" and you will understand what I'm talking about.
