Y-20 chief designer and engineer both resigned
In a regulatory filing with the stock exchange, Xi’an Aircraft International Corporation said chief designer Tang Changhong and chief engineer He Shengqiang have both tendered their job resignation letters on Nov. 16.




Both resignations take immediate effect. As He has 2,000 shares, he will remain at the company to serve as general manager. Tang will leave the company.

Tang is said to be the man behind the JH-7 fighter bomber and more recently, took charge of the Y-20 transport program.

I wouldn't bet on XAC releasing a footage of such a test even if they did undertake it.

So they decided to keep D-30 engines unchanged ?
Now could we expect the mass production of Y-20?

I'd presume that initial units will have the D-30 while later batches will sport the WS-20.

The fact that 4 prototypes have been built and pre-production expected in 2016 is implicit of this.
