Chahuahui's paid broadcast claims that the J-35A has begun testing with WS-19 :D
Yangkee stated that the J-35A fighter showed in the 9/3 parade is equipped with the WS-19 engine.
what are his exact words ??

but why naval variant using inferior Engines(WS-21) as compared to land variant(WS-19).. this doesn't make sense to me.

WS-21 itself an advanced machine but inferior to WS-19.

He stated that although the J-35A incorporates many low-end configurations, it used the WS-19 engine during the September 3rd military parade, which is considered a high-end configuration. He also mentioned that the initial batches of the J-35 were equipped with the WS-21 engine, but did not explain the reason for this.

so J-35 first batch used WS-21 Engines for testing include first EMALS launch as well.. hmm

looks like J-35/J-35A serial production will start with WS-19 Engines.
