From what I understand, the CATOBAR variant for the J-15 is still under development which you don't want to be doing so with an new engine. I suspect that once the J-15 B/T moves past (not achieve it) from IOC status is when they'll start building J-15B (assuming they'll be calling as such) with a domestic engine.

how many of the J15 batches now have Chinese engines ? or all are still using Russian ?
did J15B prototype not use WS10 engine
did J15B prototype not use WS10 engine
afiak at least one J-15 prototype (stobar) tested WS-10, the J-15S twin seat variants are using WS-10, and if I remember correctly the catobar testbed that we’ve known for quite a few years now uses WS-10.
Apart from those few, all J-15 uses Russian engines.

The current state of the prototype 553.
it served its time and did it job
At the Naval Aviation University.
Don't tell this some of the typical suspects since otherwise this will go viral!
clearly a PS job based on the well-known J-16D shown at Zhuhai - you did not notice it is faked?
