Previous reports claim that the helicopter would enter service by 2020. However, that seems to be a very unrealistic date. Did the interview reveal anything pertaining to a timeline?

2020 is indeed the date mentioned in the TV programme.

You dont see it, doesn't it mean it dont exist. Does China military development need to report everything to you to prove anything? Or you think you have more credibility than the chief designer words?

There are large number of advance weapon which China do not wish to let the public seen tested on very secluded area in inner mongolia. What you can seen online by leaker is all approved by PLA. Those not approved you will not seen but only read about it. But you dont see it doesn't mean the prototype not exist and not under test now. 2020 in facts sound too long. I expect earlier like 2018 to enter service.

A weapon as complex as an armed helicopter needs years for weapons integration, test flight, any in-house improvements if needed, and finally military evaluation. Achieving all that by 2018, much less without a single prototype built, is nothing short of fantasy.

The notion that a next-generation helicopter would be kept under wraps whilst the J-20/Sharp Sword/Divine Eagle are well known in public circles is ridiculous and unrealistic.

You know nothing of Chinese military development. I guess you better shut up. PLA is selective of what they want to show to public of its development and what not. It can be easy keep under wrap if they want to given China is so big and vast area of secluded area.

Instead of running to ad hominem attacks, why don't you attempt to ponder why Chinese censors decided to let through the J-20 rather than a notional next-generation helicopter?

It's one thing to exhibit optimism; it's another to have your head stuck in the clouds.

Why not you join CPC and maybe they will tell you the answer. Why not you answer my link provide of the screamjet reusable UAV flown but you wouldn't even see a clear photo of it. But you can continue denied such project dont exist just becos you wouldn't even see a physical photo of it.. And the awards to the scientist is probably a smokescreen to confuse you?

I dont based my conclusion on optimism like Indian. I based my conclusion on real strength of China technology advancement but a lot of westerner continued to live in denial.

From that we can estimate how many WZ-10 gunship has enter service for PLA. It seems producing like hotcakes within a few short years and all armies group has one WZ-10 gunship regiment. That exclude WZ-19 and Z-9G. If number all added up, its a huge number of gunship in service.
