where the source come from? do you mean the plan will start within 3 year or ....
can you tell the detail? I never heard this news from all way.
this is the source only I found today,it's newest:
中新社12月1日电 据香港《文汇报》报道，资深航天专家30日接受该报访问时透露，中国不可能再重蹈美国研发“航天飞机”(又称穿梭机)之覆辙，已启动研发第一代可重复使用运载器，它将是超越美国“航天飞机”水平的航天运输系统，但尚不能达到“空天飞机”的技术水准。预计中国第一代可重复使用运载器可在2020年左右研制成功。同时， 中国科研人员也已有意图开展空天飞机的研究。
the articles come with the inmage pic of the chines space shutter,but dosn't say it launched with 3 years,maybe around the year 2020.
another source:
香港文汇报报道，中国权威航天专家、中科院院士庄逢甘透露，中国一直在进行空天飞行器（又即航空航天飞行器，能自由往返于深空与大气层之间并重复使用的飞行器）的研发，但目前并未明确出台时间表。另有消息称，隶属于中国航空工业第一集团的西安阎良强度试验基地，预计将在“十一五”期间承担空天飞行器的试验任务。这意味着2010年以前，中国或将进行空天飞行器的试验。
also not sure with 3 years.

I think you meant Space Shuttle not shutter.. Anyway could you post a link to the specfic picture of this space craft. I did not see a picture on either of those links you listed. I do not read what ever lanuguage those pages are posted in.
Also how about a better translation? Thanks!
It is difficult to believe that China would have some sort space shuttle nearly ready to launch after only three manned missions and only one space proble leaving Earths orbit.

one of those links used to have image pictures,I don't know way the web page deleted the pic.
for translation,the only way you can do to copy those links to Google translate.
so many speculations, some guess space shuttle,some guess space sutter.
this is another link, but the image is not the pic what I use to see in the link.

That little thing can be interpreted many different ways, as being discussed in the "look what is under this H6" thread.
Through 20 years of use, the US space shuttle has proven to be high maintainance and prone to failure after significant use. Soviet abandon its program after one launch, why would the chinese space program travel such an unsatisfactory path when NASA and Ruscosmo are developing ejectable space Capsole that are safer and more reliable.

this opinion exactly is the H.K 1/2 chines official newspaper reported that the space expert talking.
as you pointed out above, some other speculation for this little thing,such as China will launch little space sutter with 3 years,and China research secret space weapon....we just take a look latter.
This is neither here nor there but personally I believe that the ideal spacecraft for any of the major space powers to ultimately develop would be a craft that never even entered the Earth's atmosphere and could be used for trips to the Moon, etc. and would be connected to Earth by a Soyuz-type craft. A space shuttle is not really a step down that road. China would be better served by producing a capsule-based vehicle and a space station. In other words it should go the route both the Russians and the Americans have followed but without the costly space-shuttle diversion.
Thiis is possibly one of the most ludricous statements I have ever read in this forum. It is the most ludricous I have ever read about the US Space Shuttle program.
Space travel is a high risk venture. Period. Space craft of anytype require high maintainence. Period. The US Space shuttle program has had two disasters. When you consider that NASA has a 37% failure rate built into the shuttle program you can see how highly succesful it really is. How many shuttle launches do you suspose NASA has made? One hundred and eighteen.
The astronauts on the Space Shuttle have performed many sicentific & Military missions. Plus the countless missions to the International Space station.
The Russian abandoned their shuttle program because they did not have the money to maintain the program.
The rest of the entire world has not performed as many manned space missions as the US NASA Space Shuttle program.
Russia is second with 97 total missions.
The one and only space flight of the Russian space shuttle "Buran" was unmanned.
