Allow me to reiterate that they didn't say "WS-19's thrust is 1.X tonnes off an AL-31F variant" but rather "WS-19's thrust is comparable to high-thrust class engines," most likely at or above the level of early F100/F110/AL-31F variants.

If that's the case, then 120kN it is! I'm picking the AL-31F cuz China has no experience with the other two.

Think so.

it depends on which option they go with..

only PLAN demand top of the line stealth jet so they are going with TVC and airforce version will not install TVC.

I dunno, for parts commonality they might go for TVC on both.
