Not really. You look at dominate players in global gas turbine industry,there is no UK/france/Russia companies,despite they are major players in jet engines.
What on earth are you talking about?all three countries you mentioned are major players

Original Weibo poster didn’t state it explicitly, but this is heavily implied. China wouldn’t need to test a WS-10 variant alongside another engine.


But the question is indeed valid, are these images maybe older ones showing a so far not known J-20 fitted with one WS-10 and one AL-31?

I know, the first time we saw a WS-10C on a J-20A was in September 2017 and it already had two fitted ...

... and indeed the WS-10C is shoerter than the AL-31FN:
