Was just trying to get a link but gave up. Have it in blurry screenshots instead:

It's published under PLA/军工科技.
So it sounds like this engine is optimized to have efficient cruise but also is also capable of Mach 2.0 speed at high altitude (18 km). Honestly if I had to take a blind guess this engine sounds like it’s designed for a bomber with supersonic dash capability. This is a completely blind guess on my part but if the H-20 was revised to have supersonic dash this might be the initial engine it’s meant to fly with.

Yeah nevermind this is actually just the F100-PW-229, nothing interestingView attachment 156635
I mean, the Chinese never got their hands on one though? Unless they smuggled one somehow... /jk

Why would they recreate the F100-PW-229 of all things? Their flagship engine is already related to the F110 (which is objectively superior to the F100), nor do the Chinese aeroengine industry need it. Makes no sense as tech reserves.

not every program is meant to be enter in service.

this is most likely related with AECC general R&D. only possible when you have money and industrial base. AECC revenue exploded in last decade.

Its probably some guy just taking easily accessible specs for a study, its been done before with other papers posted here. Its really nothing out of the ordinary.
Eh no the F110 engine has a 3-9-1-1 configuration like the WS-10 (they basically share the same core architecture) and the engine in this paper is 3-10-2-2.
F100 have just that, 3-10-2-2 configuration, TWR of ~7.9ish, OPR of 32 and even same thrust as the engine described in the paper, its far too similar for a coincidence.
