I'd be surprised if it was powered by indigenous donks, at least for the foreseeable future. Engine technology has proven a problematic area for China (the protracted WS-10 being a case in point) and turboshafts are no exception.
I suspect the initial aircraft will be powered by PT6B-67s 'reclaimed' from Z-8Fs, with later aircraft powered either by the Ardiden 3 - recently selected for the Z-15 - or an 'indigenous' engine ("WZ-9") based on the TV3-117VMA/VK2500.
