The WS-10 is based off the CFM-56 core.

We have reverse engineered it.

However, France haven't yet mastered its core technology with the reverse engineering.

Looks like time is on your side while China has alot of cash to develop more stuff independently.

We did start that reverse engineering on CFM56 since the early 1980s which is more than 30 years ago.

Today, we have developed the more advanced core, but to CFM56 was just our first step to cross the barrier to develop the jet engine.
