WJ-10 is the military version of AEP-400/AEP-500 hence the same engine. so doesn't matter much.
on paper AEP-400/AEP-500 need to go through extensive testing for civil certification. which is undergoing.
@ismellcopium both are the same machine.. AEP series comes under civilian category so need certification from civil aviation authority.

Debates on engine designations aside -
Well, given that the MA700 in the video is powered by WJ-10, per OP on Weibo (apparently the PW150C has never made it to Xi'an AC), and with the claim of MA700 been flying with WJ-10 for quite some time in secret (the video isn't recent, per some comments underneath that OP post on Weibo):
Hopefully, we'll see the KJ-600 having its WJ-6C swapped with WJ-10 soon.
And then there's also the Y-30 in the shadows...
