Well we've heard rumours about PL-12 approaching 100km in range, but I don't think it's ever been confirmed to a good extent I think.
There is the PL-21 or a chinese "Meteor" aam, which looks a bit like a PL-12, but with a ramjet - that version will have a range of at least km... when it comes into service and what development stage it is at isn't known though.

China fired successfully new generation "Program control" AA missile
来源：航空报

中航工业导弹院研制的某新型号产品，被导弹院人誉为“生命工程”。为了完成该型产品程控弹发射产品的准备，型号线人员用了8个月的时间完成了以往需要两三年才能完成的任务。他们放弃一切节假日，实行“711”工作制，激情拼搏，顽强攻关，攻克了一个又一个技术难关，在程控弹外场试验中取得了一个又一个胜利。让我们回放镜头，再来看看试验队在外场那些瞬间而又永恒的片段。
New generation AA missile, deemed "Life or death project" for AVIC Missile Division, was reported as a "Program controlled missile". A range trial has been completed in two months across 2010 New Year.
.....
刹那间，随着一声穿越时空的巨响，导弹似脱缰的野马腾空而出，带出一道壮观的银色火焰，向着蔚蓝的大漠长空直刺而去……
“弹道和仿真曲线几乎重叠，完美极了！”“成功啦！”“我们成功啦！”试验场上一片沸腾。
......
2009年12月某日，再次传来喜讯——第二枚弹又打成功啦！.....
2010年1月某日，打了第三枚弹。又获成功！标志着此次试验任务圆满完成！
Three missles were launched from ground and no target drone was mentioned in the report. All the three shoots were successful as the experimentally captured trajectories were almost perfectly overlaid with the computer simulation results.
There were no specifications or other description of the new "Program Controlled Missile" in the report. However its main feature is emphasized clearly as the program controlled ballistic trajectory. It was reported before that the current generation AA missiles are digitized and use high optimized high trajectory. Therefore it is possible that the new missile uses thrust vector propulsion, has no or little aerodynamic control surface, as intended being carried in internal weapon bay.

There is a AAM thread already, please don't randomly start new threads.
Anyway, I think the article you were referring to is this one.
It doesn't really say that it's AAM exactly. That's just the most likely case. People have been assuming that this is PL-10, but we need more evidence.

There was a cited link to a PLA daily which stated the PL-12's effective range to be in excess of 100km, but some vandal replaced it with a link to a Dr. Fisher article that had nothing to do with it.
More technical details of SD-10A AAM revealed
At the 2009 Paris Air Show, AVIC revealed more technical details of SD-10A active radar guided AAM. A designer of this AAM claims that SD-10A is a 4th generation air-to-air missile and has been fitted on the PLA Air Force’s J8F and J10A fighters.
(For full story, please refer to November 2009 Issue of Kanwa Asian Defence.)
Any one has details???

From what I have been reading the latest production run of missiles have been derived from Israeli technology (specifically the python). Is the PLAAF working on any new medium range AAM similar to the Derby/Sparrow system?
Also do you believe that the guidance system will be copy of these systems or a domestic improvement based on existing PLAAF technology?
Thanks,

Sounds like the same kind of baseless drivel we have been seeing for years from western sources.
