The illustration is CGI, but apparently the message is real.
According to this guy, the CJ1000A engine completed its first flight inspection test on January 6, 2023, and the engine mounting test was completed on the 9th. Looks like CJ1000A is getting ever closer to C919...
Verfication and confirmation needed.
I think the source is this:

The first flight inspection was completed by the general aviation engine flight platform of the aviation industry flight test center
China Aviation News: After more than half a year's efforts, the aero-engine general flight platform of the Aviation Industry Flight Test Center completed its first inspection flight on January 6, 2023, and the engine mounting test was completed on January 9, 2023, which took a key step in the construction of the aero-engine general flight platform, marking China's initial ability to independently develop the aero-engine general flight platform.
Recently, the certification experts of Zhongzhi (Beijing) Certification Co., Ltd. carried out a four-day on-site audit on the implementation and operation of the intellectual property management system of AVIC Optoelectronics, marking that the company's intellectual property management has become more standardized, institutionalized and systematized, and the ability and level of intellectual property creation, operation, protection, management have reached a new level, further strengthening the leading and supporting role of intellectual property in scientific and technological innovation activities. AVIC Optoelectronics will take this opportunity to continuously improve the intellectual property management system, strengthen the awareness of intellectual property protection, and give play to the supporting role of intellectual property rights in building a new era of aviation power "leading innovation", so as to provide a strong guarantee for the company's sustained high-quality and stable development.
IMO this is the engine flight test bed based on Y-20.
