Will China lands a Chinese astronaut on the moon?

Question

Chinese are sending already men into space. And they seem making progress. Do you think they will want to go to moon before the year 2020?

Answer 1

Yes, it is in the BBC news. Speculation is growing that China may attempt a manned space flight to usher in the Year of the Dragon which begins on 5 February.
A number of sources of information indicate that a launch may be imminent, including recent editorials in two pro-China Hong Kong newspapers.
In China itself, the People's Army Liberation newspaper recently carried an interview with Professor Liang Sili of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, who was quoted as saying that sometime soon Chinese astronauts "would travel in space in the Shenzhou series of spacecraft."
And last month, following a visit to Chinese space facilities, Russian cosmonaut Anatoli Berezovoi said that he believed China would soon become the third nation to be able to launch people into space, after Russia and the United States.
So, I think this event is coming soon. After all, it is not surprising since it is believed that China is the next super-power... or so they say...

But personally, they can land on the moon by 2012, the technology is available to them now, don't forget that they are next door to the biggest space faring nation on Earth.

However, there's still that immigration procedures.
