WS-10C is already fielded in large numbers.

If true indeed a major breakthrough 😮 ... can't wait to see the first J-20 with that engine!

According to this news, the "WS-15 is in mass production ... One of project leader from state-owned AECC Group disclosed in this video (at 00:27) recorded during his speech at a material contest presentation that the WS-15 aeroengine is now in mass Production!"

 
Almost a hundred pages of rumors, boasts, bashing, arguments, etc. But when something exciting has finally happened, thread is silent.
