From what I understand if it gets completed it would have similar engine performance to the A320 CEO but not the A320 NEO yes.
No, surely never ever ...

Well...for commercial applications...yeah. It’s a military turbofan, built around different requirements.So you think the WS-20 will have worse performance than the CFM-56? Now that's pessimistic.
No, surely never ever ...
No. CJ-1000A is only just beginning its testing process. At this point the component technologies are probably more mature so design finalization probably won’t take very long, if it hasn’t happened already, but commercial turbofans have far more rigorous reliability requirements than military engines so its testing process will take much longer.WS-20 flight tests already delivered around 10% if not more thrust than the high bypass engines used in the A320 from the CFM to IAE to PW engines. They're all 90 to 110KN whereas the WS-20 has achieved more than 120KN. Perhaps you were thinking of some other high bypass engines from CFM/PW/GE with the 180KN thrust range.
In any case why are we forgetting the CJ-1000A. I was under the impression the CJ-1000A is further along development compared to the WS-20. WS-20 intended for the Y-20 and the CJ-1000A intended for the C919.

Such a compromise is extremely unlikely. If they rush reliability validation and certification for a commercial project and a plane goes down for it that would destroy trust in Chinese commercial aerospace for years. Commercial projects don’t work like military projects in terms of their risk profile.Maybe the Chinese gov will just force domestic airlines to accept a "good enough" engine with more frequent maintenance needs and lower efficiency than the latest western equivalents in the 120 to 150KN range. This is if the CJ-1000A get developed to such a maturity level and the US bans all access. Still not the worst lol. Especially if fuel access via Iran is there.
