https://twitter.com/cnspaceflight/status/1680750747624017920Two Long March 2F rockets are currently being assembled and tested at CALT factory, one of which is Y18 for Shenzhou-18 and will be shipped to Jiuquan in September, so the question is "what is the other one" as it's still too early to assemble Y19.
Guess you don't know there is a "rolling backup" strategy on manned 2F...the other one is for emergency backup. Usually, the backup one will shand there for half a year until it officially becomes the next numbered 2F...by then, there will be another new one standing in the VAB..
https://twitter.com/cnspaceflight/status/1680801728596414468The assembly of Y18 started in February, 8 months before it serves as backup.
Assuming Shenzhou-18 to launch in May, 2024, that's at least 10 months for Y19

I guess the SHenzhou-18 might be launched before May 2024, maybe March or April.

新华社快讯：神舟十七号航天员乘组预计于4月底返回地面Xinhua News Agency News: The Shenzhou 17 astronaut crew is expected to return to the ground at the end of April
The Tianzhou-17 will be return on end of April = April 30 or April 29?, then the internal source said the CZ-18 might be launched on April 26, so common days will be 4 not fixed 5. but if it is April 29, the common days will be still in 5 days.

Crew forecast: 01. Ye Guangfu (commander, 1st space flight on Shenzhou-13, 182 days), 02. new from the third batch of astronauts in 2020, 03. new from the third batch of astronauts in 2020 (payload specialist).

我国太空葬第一枚火箭即将发射my country's first space burial rocket is about to be launched
After docking with the Aerospace Academy and rocket companies, and applying for approval from the aerospace and rocket companies, the space home rocket and satellite launched this time have received national registration and approval, and are named "Haitao International Group Space Home No. 1".
The rocket launch time is scheduled to be around April 20, 2024, at the "Satellite Launch Center", and the main launch unit is Haitao International Group.
You can find the text on the body is CZ-2F and the rocket is just CZ-2F, so I think this Haitao Guoji jiTuan Taikong Jiayuan-1 (海涛国际集团太空家园一号) will be launched with Shenzhou-18 by CZ -2F on April 25.

Hm, the image shows the CZ-2F/T version, which is not used for manned Shenzhou launches.

Is there any basis for these predictions in the form of information or even leaks from sources close to the official ones? I am referring to the date of the launch as well as the name of the commander. Because I am convinced that since they are given here, there is some basis.

神舟十八号｜神舟十八号载人飞船与空间站组合体完成自主快速交会对接
Shenzhou 18 | The Shenzhou 18 manned spacecraft and space station assembly completed autonomous rapid rendezvous and docking
新华社北京4月26日电（记者郭中正）据中国载人航天工程办公室消息，神舟十八号载人飞船入轨后，于北京时间2024年4月26日3时37分，成功对接于空间站天和核心舱径向端口，整个自主交会对接过程历时约6.5小时。
Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, April 26 (Reporter Guo Zhongzheng) According to the China Manned Space Engineering Office, after entering orbit, the Shenzhou 18 manned spacecraft successfully docked at 3:37 on April 26, 2024, Beijing time. The entire autonomous rendezvous and docking process lasted about 6.5 hours at the radial port of the Tianhe core module of the space station.
按任务计划，3名航天员随后将从神舟十八号载人飞船进入空间站天和核心舱。神舟十七号航天员乘组已做好迎接神舟十八号航天员乘组进驻各项准备工作，两个平均年龄不到40岁的“飞天组合”即将在“天宫”会师。
According to the mission plan, the three astronauts will then enter the Tianhe core module of the space station from the Shenzhou 18 manned spacecraft.

Astronauts of China's Shenzhou-18 mission meet pressBEIJING, May 28 (Xinhua) -- Shenzhou-18 crew members on board China's orbiting space station completed the first spacewalk of their mission at 6:58 p.m. (Beijing Time) on Tuesday, according to the China Manned Space Agency (CMSA).
Ye Guangfu, Li Cong and Li Guangsu worked for about eight-and-a-half hours in completing multiple tasks, including the installation of space debris protection devices, and were assisted by the space station's robotic arm and a team on Earth.
Ye and Li Guangsu, the two crew members assigned the spacewalk duty, have since returned safely to the Wentian lab module.
This marked Ye's second extravehicular activity (EVA), following his initial spacewalk during the Shenzhou-13 mission, while Li Guangsu embarked on a spacewalk for the first time.
The mission will involve numerous other tasks, with the Shenzhou-18 crew set to engage in a slew of scheduled space science experiments and technical tests, while they will also undertake additional extravehicular activities and install payloads outside the space station, according to the CMSA. ■
