If all goes well, do you think that their next launch will be manned? Or will they do a few more of these unmanned flights first?

They can afford to take their time and do it right. The program is open-ended and they are under no pressure, certainly not from the West. Of course they wish to establish a manned presence in space as soon as reasonably possible, so they will press on. No doubt their funding will be increased as a result of their continued success.
