Dude - we have been operating RD33 , AL's for over 3 decades and counting. We know what are the issues and MTBF. In India these issues cannot be hidden due to a very active press and RTI.
In your and chinese case - you are only getting data what they want you to get - there's a difference.
World over (forget India) russian engines have troubled everyone as compared to western ones. You can check out other airforces.
O please spare me this India and free rhetoric. WE are happy with its performance as we had zero engine related issues so end of story. Do a bit of research about why Dassault refused to build their jets in India and you will have all the answers you to why your engines failed.
