It still uses a AL-31 engine. How many of these engines does China still have in stock and are there any news of new orders ? When did J-10B production start ? Was it in july of 2014 ? If so then China has build about 100 J-10B/C's in two years or about 50 a year.

Good question, I'd like to know as well. Anybody has the most up to date count?

Yes, just a page before:

And the first serial J-10B (#1,01) was spotted first in December 2013 ... so now 2 years and 9 months (= 33 months) for 102 aircraft equals about a rate of roughly 3 aircraft per month.

I meant the number of AL-31's in stock, they've gotta be close to running out by now, right?

From what I've heard, China has the ability to perform major rehauls on AL-31s.
