This is the PRC engine thread in China defense. This provides more sources than anywhere else.

And no, WS-10A was not developed after AL-31FN, but rather after CFM56.

There were some problems encountered in late 2004, but they have apparently being solved. This is one of the posts:

some news (China Aviation Paper sponsored by AVIC1&2) implies that 10A turbofan is already in the final phase of certification.General manager of AVIC1 LiuGaoZhuo required SARI go all out to accomplish the certification tests of the "Crucial Type" by the end of this year, during his inspection in Shenyang on July 13rd . Early in 2001 The chief designer (Vice superintendent of 606) -ZhangEnHe declared 10A to enter service in 2005.
the following news reported that till the end of first half year ,10A has completed most Flight-test subjects in Yanliang; made a vital breakthrough during Altitude Test at CGTE(in the 1#cell of SB101 ATF) ;undergone endurance test smoothly in Shengyang( probably accomplished 2* QT150h、300h or AMT)...

a 300 hour endurance test shows that the engine is not as durable and can't be compared to american designed turbofans.... that's too short of a time...

We'll likely see many WS-10A flying in J-11 before we even start to see them flying in J-10 in reasonable numbers. With 2 engines, there's always one to backup when the other fails. There's really no other way to prove the reliability of the engine other than to fly them in large numbers.

during the 2006 zhuhai airshow,Liming (?) reported a new 95KN engine under develop .designate as WS-14. it is strongly believe that the mock up ,and equally mysterious engine seen at the 2008 Zhuhai airshow may be (may be) the WS-14.her inlet fan engine was obvious influence by RD-33/93
higher thrust variant of WS-10 also being develop,name WS-10D,max.thrust to 155KN
WS-13,clone copy of RD-93 took her first flight on october,2005.
Ws-15 was 15 ton thrust engine,(although future variant may likely increase in total thrust)
