Spaceflightfans.cn is giving the launch date for YG-30-02 as December 27 and January 9 for GJ-3/4.
Well, it says "tbd" (待定) in both cases

So, possibly wild guesses...

There are reports that the launch yesterday is SAST's last in 2017. This essentially confirms that the GJ-1 launch has (as expected) slipped into 2018 and (barring extreme low probabilities of a CZ-2C slipping into the queue at TSLC) leaves just the Xichang launch next week for 2017.

And it has been officially confirmed that the YG-30-03 launch is China's last one of 2017.

Current reports indicate as many as 42 (!) launches by the Chinese in 2018, 28 by CASC alone and another 10 by SAST. Even if we use this year's actual results vs predictions early in the year (18 out of about 30, around 60%), this still gives about 25-30 launches.  :P

2018

February 1 - CZ-2D - JSLC, LC43/603 - ZH-1 Zhangheng-1 (ESEM Experimental Satellite on Electromagnetism Monitoring); Fengmaniu-1 (CubeSat-3U); Shaonian Xing (MiniStar); ÑuSat-4; ÑuSat-5; GomX-4A (Ulloriaq); GomX-4B and others

According to ESA this launch is now on 2nd February.

Quote
The cereal box-sized GomX-4B has been passed as ready to travel along with its twin from manufacturer GomSpace in Denmark in early December to begin launch preparations in China.

“GomX-4B is scheduled to be launched on a Chinese Long March rocket on 2 February, along with GomX-4A, owned by the Danish Ministry of Defence,” says Roger Walker, heading ESA’s Technology CubeSat initiative.

Current reports indicate as many as 42 (!) launches by the Chinese in 2018, 28 by CASC alone and another 10 by SAST. Even if we use this year's actual results vs predictions early in the year (18 out of about 30, around 60%), this still gives about 25-30 launches.  :P
35 launches by CASC

gbtimes says CASIC will do at least 5 flights through EXPACE and Landspace Technology is also expected to debut for over 40 flights total:

It looks like there will be LKW-3 & 4 coming this year: http://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/V7xTNQcXusEMhYdOhxXZKg

There's an unknown launch scheduled on January 13 from Jiuquan and LKW-3 might be a candidate.

I'm trying to confirm that the tentative launch of the Long March 11 on January 19 in fact includes the Kepler Communications satellite. The company won't confirm anything. So I need other sources. Thanks.

I have been doing some checking of launch totals and I am one in error for Jiuquan.   I think that the problem might be that I am including the launch failure of a Kuaizhou on March 17, 2012 but I recall that there was some doubt whether this was "real".

Has the existence or otherwise of this launch failure been confirmed, does anyone know please?

I count KZ-1 in 2012 as failed orbital launch.
Counting it China has in total 280 orbital launches, France - 281 orbital launches (Hammaguir plus CSG).
So soon China will beat France for the third place in total orbital launches.

P.S.: If KZ-1 in 2012 was really suborbital launch and Chinese counted it as "space" launch in their statistics then they should add to total three FB-1 suborbital launches, so it will be 103 "space" launches from Jiuquan.

PP.S.: Statistics should have strict definitions.

What you said is consistent with my data.
