China's first dedicated asteroid mission will be powered by xenon ion engine. The engine has successfully tested in orbit on Shijian-9 satellite on November 7, 2012. The probe will visit three asteroids: make a flyby of the first and take pictures, orbit the second, and land on the third. According to earlier reports, potential targets include 12711 Tukmit, 99942 Apophis and (175706) 1996 FG3.

As far as I know, officially, there is no timeline for an asteroid mission in China. But possible missions are now studied in universities and institutions. I'm also looking forward to this kind of mission.
