But that‘s for the WS-10C, the updated version used by the J-20A. In contrast to the C-model, the J-10C uses the less powerful standard WS-10B, which is supposed to deliver a thrust of 132kn.
Yes bro always hard to find official sources in China, but here are thrust data compiled from Baidu-pedia (Baike) or news outlet like Sohu:No worries bro it is hard to find anything.
- WS-10: 122 kN, the baseline variant, production discontinued
- WS-10A: 132 kN, first seen at the 2008 China International Aviation & Aerospace Exhibition, production discontinued 2017, stocks still in service for J-11B
- WS-10B: 142 kN (14.5 tons), formally announced on 2017 Feb 23 on China Aviation Post (中国航空报), in serial production since 2017 (order for AL31F stopped at the same year) till now, supplied to new jets including J-10B/C and J-16/16D
- WS-10C: Same thrust as B, this variant is compatible only for J-20

ANALYSIS: Can China break the military aircraft engine bottleneck?
China's political and aerospace leadership is painfully aware that that its airpower ambitions are severely impeded by the lack of what it calls a "Chinese heart," or modern indigenous aircraft engines.
