Is China ‘Go’ for Space?

The BBC reports that The Peoples’ Republic of China plans to put a human in space by the end of the year. Is this a boast, or the real thing?

The article mentions sources in Hong Kong who say that the first Taikonaut may launch by mid-October.

If so, then I wish them hot jets and clear skies.
