Default Design Shenzhou program objectives

Here is the scenario for commentary (history and strategy).
Shenzhou 5 has completed a successful mission, with Lt. Colonel Yang Liwei
orbiting the Earth 14 times for 21 hours.

You are the mission planner for the Shenzhou program and the program
director has asked you
for a list of the mission objectives for the follow-up flights.

The Chinese leadership has publicly announced some specific long-term goals
for the Chinese manned
space program. These goals do not have specific timeframes.

1.) Earth orbiting space station
2.) Circum-lunar flight
3.) Landing upon moon

You have a wealth of information from the earlier Russian and American
manned and unmanned programs
from which to draw comparisons and "lessons learned".

For the Shenzhou program,
name the flights (starting with Shenzhou 6), mission objectives and
estimated timeframe.

You can also name new or parallel programs to achieve additional objectives
for achieving
the recently stated manned space goals for China.
