FWIW, this is an image of the official handover/unveiling ceremony of an improved Taihang variant. As to which WS-10 variant this is, I have no idea.
Probably for a single engined fighter.

I was thinking about the significance of this one...that they’re making casting blanks now seems to suggest some work is starting to set up production now.Has this been shared before? Not entirely certain of its credibility, but here's a brief summary translation:

Another excerpt on WS-10. I'm not sure when this document was published, so I can't place it precisely on a timeline. In any event, this is old information.

Ukrainian President Zelensky has approved sanctions against Chinese buyers of Motor Sich .
The Chinese paid more than $ 2.5 billion for the Ukrainian engine plant. But they will not be able to use the plant now. Apparently, it will not be possible to return the money either.
Who was sanctioned for three years:
Skyrizon Aircraft Holdings Limited, a company registered in the British Virgin Islands;
Hong Kong Skyrizon Holdings Limited, registered in Hong Kong, China;
Beijing Skyrizon Aviation Industry Investment Company, registered in Beijing, China;
Beijing Xinwei Technology Group Co., Ltd, registered in Beijing, China;
a citizen of China, Wang Jingwei (Wang Jing).
What they suggest:
Asset blocking;
restriction of trading operations;
ban on transit through the territory of Ukraine;
preventing the withdrawal of capital from Ukraine;
ban on transactions with securities;
the ban on changing the size of the authorized capital in Ukrainian companies in which the participants of the sanctions list own a share of ownership or influence the management and activities of such companies.
