Huitong has reported it is suppose to make a first flight this year and intended to replace Mi-17 helicopter. There has also been a buzz about it in plenty of sites.

The Z-20 and Y-20 are more important than J-21 I believe. China lacks domestic transportation of aircraft and helicopter.
 
China need to produce hundreds of Z-20 to replace Mi-17 and Mi-171.
BTW don't forget China also has Z-15 project (China version EC-175). Z-20 and Z-15 will work together to improve PLA Army strength.

It may take time for it to happen, remember Mi-17 deals with Russia a while back. The Z-20 would be excellent transport heli in Tibet
 
I heard that the S-70C is the only helicopter in China capable of flying in Tibet.

Is this true?

I ever read news and pics Mi-171 from PLA Army of ChengDu military region can fly in Tibet, but American S-70 still the best flying in Tibet.

Mi-17B-7 using powerful Russian BK-2500-02 engines, special updated helo for Tibet mission.
