China can build jet engine (WS-10), USA can build engine (F119) does it mean China on par with USA?
The WS-10 has granted China's role as an officially recognized turbofan maker.
Because the foundation was laid down by the WS-10, and this will enable China to build the more advanced WS-15.
Just look at Japan, they have been struggled for 3 decades to build a fourth generation turbofan engine, but still failed.
The WS-10A is 132KN with an upgraded 140KN variant such as the WS-10B, but Shinshin's engine is only 51KN, that's not even equivalent to the F-4, let alone the F-15.
Do you think that South Korea would be any better when it comes to this domain?
The fact is that Japan and South Korea are only good at some trivial technologies, but it comes to the real cutting-edge ones, they are acting like toddlers.
