Not really, as far as I know even their best plane J-20 uses Russian engines. They were planning to replace it with a domestically developed engine but I am not sure if that is done yet. The domestic engine was developed from either French or Russian family of engines, I think.
- hungryhobo 6y agomy understanding was they use russian engines because it's still more cost effective, so it's better for use in peace time for training purposes. but they do have domestic variants ready in case of actual war, where having things is more important than having things cheaply.
