Chinese Engine Development

And they stopped building that in 1999 after just 5 years from prototype and instead choose to build the R-99 based on the ERJ-145 regional jets and now are moving on to the larger GlobalEye based on Global 6000. It really is more of an outlier than the norm.

If you think so, so be it we just agree to disagree

I believe China will continue building KJ-700 (and potentially a new one based on Y-15) and also at the same time ramping up building KJ-3000, they are compliment each other (I am fine if you disagree)

Kind of an old rumour (weeks old) but "CJ5000" apparently exists according to someone with ACAE, currently at the preliminary research phase. Aiming to compete with the GE90 in terms of rated thrust.

Not much is known beyond that.

HOLY

While the GE9X (its successor) holds the record for highest thrust (134,300 lbf), it is currently rated at 110,000 lbf, meaning the GE90-115B retains a higher operational thrust.
