The Chang'e 8 mission, in addition to scientific surveys and experiments, will test key technologies to lay the groundwork for the construction of a science and research base on the moon, Xinhua reported.

For potential settlement, the lunar poles offer the most moderate temperature range." -------------------- "The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena"

Chang'e 7 due to fly in 2016 and chang'e 8 in 2028.
Postponed by 1 year, by now... Interestingly they will launch a internet relay sattelite for the moon base. Probably the delay will be a little more then usual... https://www.globaltimes.cn/page/202212/1282464.shtml -------------------- "The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena"
