Yeah, you and @Deino have that unfortunate habit. Stop it. We want news about new systems and developments, not operational secrets like how many J-20s were produced and where they're based.

A military insider told the South China Morning PostChinese aircraft engineers found their domestically built WS-10C, the modified version of the WS-10 engine, to be as good as the

“It’s impossible for China to rely on the Russian engine, because Russia asked China to purchase more Su-35 fighter jets in exchange for the AL-31F engine deals,” the insider, who requested anonymity, said.
“The key problem is – except for its longer combat range advantage – the radar, navigation system and other electronic components on the Su-35s are inferior to Chinese aircraft like the J-16 strike fighter.”

Go easy with the bold font and big print. This isn't the place for or Daily Mail style headlines, and I imagine most here don't have poor eyesight. And please, there is nothing in the article we don't already know. It's a nothing burger. And no, our problem isn't with SCMP, it's with Minnie Chan.
P.S. I wish I can trust SCMP to check for typos, or does Minnie Chan really think WS-25 is a real thing?
I would go one further -- our problem isn't inherently with SCMP or Minnie Chan, it's with information that is unsubstantiated and illogical and inconsistent with the accumulated knowledge and consensus that exists.
It just so happens that SCMP and Minnie Chan often seems either unable to identify or unable to write articles that contain logical information that is consistent with our understanding.
I can only agree with this statement and that even more angers me, since with your very large letters and this text "Now all of you who are "Hollier than thou", "self appointed expert', "judge cum executioner" lay off" you seem to defend her while at the same time accuse us, who point towards her mistakes, false-reporting and often unsubstantiated and illogical claims as being arrogant!
As such I would summarise this once again and correct it to this single phrase: Why you can trust Minnie Chan!
