AL31据说首翻在600小时左右，总寿命1500小时；而美国同级别的F100-PW系列和F110-GE系列首翻都在1000小时以上，总寿命更是接近4000小时。后来的F119和最近的F135、F136更不用说了
First overhaul of AL-31 = 600 hrs; total service life = 1500 hrs
US's F100-PW and F110-GE first overhaul = 1000 hrs, life = 4000 hours

An unidentified Middle Eastern country is in “advanced” talks to make the first foreign purchase of a fighter jet jointly developed by Pakistan and China.
The joint sales team from the Pakistan Air Force and China National Aero-Technology Import and Export Corporationalso known as CATIC, are in advanced talks with 10 other countries to sell the JF-17 Thunder, said PAF Air Commodore Khalid Mahmood, who heads sales and marketing for the fighter jet.
“We are in advanced negotiations with a Middle Eastern country, but the political situation over there has delayed the deal,” said Mahmood in an interview at the Zhuhai Air Show yesterday, declining to give more details. “But we still expect them to be our first foreign client.”
The JF-17 Thunder fighter jet is among several aircraft China is seeking to export, after designating its domestic aerospace sector as a key national strategic industry. The twin-engine jet was jointly designed and manufactured by the Pakistan Aeronautical Complex and Chengdu Aircraft Corporation, a subsidiary of state-ownedAviation Industry Corp of China, also known as AVIC.
The partners are in “advanced talks” with clients in Africa, Asia, theMiddle East and South America for jet sales, Mahmood said. He declined to identify any of them. Prospective orders will be for the third block of 50 planes, with the Pakistan Air Force having ordered the first two blocks of 50.
Dual-Seat Version
Mahmood said there are plans in place for a dual-seater version of the JF-17 Thunder after feedback from potential clients. The third-generation fighter jet, also known as FC-1 Dragon by the Chinese, can be used for aerial reconnaissance and has air-to-air and air-to-surface combat capabilities, according to its product website.
Flightglobal, an aviation-related website, previously reported that the partnership was close to making its first foreign sale.
A mock up of the single-seat, single-engine JF-17 is on display at the Zhuhai Air Show that started Nov. 11 in the province of Guangdong, along with several others produced by AVIC -- including the J-31, one of China’s fifth-generation stealth fighters.
The J-31 gave its first public demonstration at China’s largest air show on Tuesday. Manufactured by a Shenyang AVIC subsidiary, the fighter is a test of the country’s ability to deliver cutting-edge defense technology.
Still largely-shrouded in secrecy, the production of the fighter could add heft to China’s sea and air expansion in the region and its push-back against decades of U.S. economic and military dominance.

Maybe next generation of engine spec like WS-15 will be better? Like 3000hrs lifespan and long interval of maintenance time?
Which is why the AVIC president put a 10years time gap between China and US.

We have come a long way though to have come this far!
USA is also doing their own R n D in engines technologies too
So the gap is fairly large and I dont know if they said "less than 10 years" is way too optimistic
10 year gap on engine tech is too optimistic. US has had F-22 for more than 20 years, and we are still working on a prototype of WS-15. We are at least 25+ years behind the US on aeroengines...
