They have the potential capability to made 100 J20 a year, and that would required 200 engines. If you include spare engines for airforce and factory's minimum inventory stock level for next XX months of production, the annual production capability could be siginificantly more than 200 engines a year.

If we're talking WS-10 variants then it's a lot more than that because J-10/15/16 use it too.

Doesn't the current production J-20s use the latest 40'000 to 44'000-pound thrust WS-15 ?
There are no officially published specifications for the WS-15 in the public domain, the number you quoted is at the level of speculation, and not even a credible one at that.

What constitutes "current production J-20s" is also a matter of debate, as there are only rumors from a while ago that the J-20A will be entering production this year. There are questions even as to whether or not the early batches of the J-20A will be equipped with the WS-15, although the general expectation is that it will be.
