Also, the advanced technology used on WS-15 can be borrowed to improve WS-10, WS-118, and WS-13 !

The WS-13 is pretty much comparable to the European ones already.
t:W ratio for EJ-200,M-88,F-404 and F-414 are all 9 or above,by contrast WS-13 is something between 7.8 or 8.00.

The F-404 and M-88 don't have much higher ratios, and does it really matter since there's an aircraft usually attached to the engine?
at 9:1 ratio compare with WS-13 at 7:8? Let see ,we still has to wait for AVIC promise of 100kn (or it was 95kn?) version of WS-13 .(WS-13G?)
Yes, there was some discussion, but it was on old image of the J-11BS prototype 533 and as such an old engine !
did anyone notice that zhang enhe, the chief designer of the ws-10 is not even a member of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, were the project a big success, he would have become a fellow long time ago. I heard that he was voted out in the first round back in 2007.
I have a sense that the ws-10 has become a "chicken ribs" project, it's time to move on. hopefully the ws-15 will be a success.
