As of my last update in early 2023, specific astronauts selected for the Shenzhou-18 and Shenzhou-19 missions had not been publicly announced. These missions are part of China's ongoing human spaceflight program, which includes plans to build a modular space station by around 2022. The selection of astronauts for such missions is typically done by the Chinese Space Agency (CNSA), and the details are usually kept confidential until official announcements are made.
The Shenzhou program is China's manned spaceflight project that began with the launch of Shenzhou-5 in 2003, making China only the third country to independently send humans into space. Since then, several Shenzhou missions have been completed, including long-duration stays on the Tiangong space laboratory modules.
For the latest and most accurate information regarding the astronaut selections for Shenzhou-18 and Shenzhou-19, you should refer to official CNSA announcements or updates from credible space news sources following any mission launch dates.
