BEIJING - China hasn't set any specific timetable for the development of a space station, a spokesman with China National Space Administration (CNSA) said here Wednesday.

"According to the national outline for mid- and long-term scientific and technological development, and the outline for space technology development during the 11th-five-year period (2006-2010) issued by the State Council on May 10 this year, China will focus on manned spaceflight and lunar exploration in the near future," Li Guoping, the CNSA spokesman, told a press conference.

"No plans issued by the government so far has said we are going to develop a space station," Li said.
