Misleading Title, China has had a space station since Sept 29, 2011 called the Tiangong 1. The article is reference a large orbital station similar to the Mir in size.

Tiangong 1 could be compared to Skylab but is still most certainly a space station.

Edit: The original article has the misleading title.

The title doesn't say they're launching their first space station; it says they're launching _a_ space station.

The BBC story says that it's their first space station.
