After 2030,the CZ-5 rocket that has enough power for the moon mission isn't ready yet.Who can tell me when China plans to do manned moon landing ?

You're right.The CZ-5 is not powerful enough for a moon landing mission with a 25 ton LEO and 14 ton GTO capability.And the CZ-5 is expected to fit the near future need of heavy satellite and space staion launch rather than a deep space adventure.There was a rocket expert in the Chinese Academy of Science writting that they are developing a heavy rocket with 1000 ton thrust,I think that is the thing for the moon landing and deep space research.However there's no offical confirmation that the project is set,but the CZ-5 project is promising and we expect it gets service in 2014.I heard that CZ-5 would be a heavy lift rocket but it is not the one that will be used for the moon mission, there is a further larger one under development.
CZ-5's lift load is impressive but still low compared to giants like the saturn V
CZ-5 will have a maximum payload capacity of 25,000 kg to LEO. For Saturn V that figure is 120,000 Kg.
I think CZ-5 would be used as heavy workhorse.
