Yes, but more like LRIP instead of outright mass production.

Outright mass production of WS-15 could begin around one or two years from now.

The key is - Not even past one quarter of 2023, and series of news arrived that China has finally made major strides in aviation engine development. More, mature and advanced civil and military aviation engines will follow suit...

Is this what happened with the Indians after TikTok ban, I don't know, I'm genuinely curious.
Absolutely not. The problem in the case of India, as is the situation in the US, was that the media narrative against tiktok was overwhelming. There was a similar hope in India that tiktok is a space used by the people in villages for political mobilization or raising issues that no mainstream media was speaking of, and that there would be a huge backlash. But nothing really happened. All the tiktokers eventually shifted to Instagram Reels. And I expect the same will happen in the US.

These diaspora hanjians created all of this themselves (not talking about the proud minority of AAs like on SDF) and now are crying about the consequences. Their response to any forms of anti-Asian racism was either keeping head down and ignoring or doubling down with self-deprecation and self-hate. A lot of rabid anti-China pieces (look up authors of those countless anti-China articles, like 70% of them are written by at least one Asian author) and conspiracies were propagated by Chinese & Asian sellouts. Even in this article they are still shilling for the MuriKKKan regime and essentially screaming "we are the good Asians, we also hate China". So why are they surprised that they are treated as collateral damage? Were they expecting to be accepted as honorary aryans after they help subjugate China? It's hard to sympathise with the people from this article because they are still doing the very shit that led them to this.

Yeah, like it or not, bans work against social media platforms.

The top platforms in India are now pretty much entirely Western - no wonder the West calls India its "close ally" today. Although, ironically since the Indians have flooded these platforms with "Russia strong" narratives, it's been counter to the West's efforts in Ukraine.

But this is also why social media platform success isn't that significant - it's easy to ban and replace. What matters are hard technology items that require decades of infrastructure to build. This is what the Chinese government has designated critical technologies and why they've channeled funding away from internet companies and into hard technology.
