China may be only country with space station in 2024

China plans to launch the experimental core module of its space station around 2018 with a Long March-5 heavyload carrier rocket, and the 20 ton combination space station will be sent into orbit around 2022. When the ISS retires in 2024, China’s space station may then be the only one left in service.
