Did he mentioned the WS-19 has also achieved some level of serial production or that work is still ongoing to reach maturity of the WS-19?
I didn’t quite understand that part.
It could really help open up more JF-17 sales if the jet has an engine that matches the Gripen NG’s F414. And would allow the JF-17 to act as a trainer when it has the same engine as the J-35 when it is cleared for export. In the case of a country like Argentina, if they could afford it it, the combination would be the best option to deal with the Eurofighters and Royal Navy’s F-35Bs.

Also, is the Y-20B expected to now go into mass production now that an engine has reached maturity? Besides transports, future AWACS and Tanker aircraft will be needed in large numbers if proper projection is an upcoming goal of the PLA, especially vis a vi overseas investments and workers.

Highlighted the parts related to engines to keep on topic, but giving background information to give context for my question.
