I don't know, but it's probably old footage of the prototype that flew.
What is the status of the AEP500 and it's intended certification?

Around half a year before Indonesians take delivery of their first COMAC ARJ-21-700, they sent a team of 7 or 8 pilots to Shanghai COMAC Training centre. Their trainings were on theory classes, simulator training and finally training on real aircraft owned by COMAC. This is a part of many video by one of the Indonesian pilots.
After completing their training, they took over the new TransNusa ARJ-21 and flew it more than two thousand km back to Indonesia. There has not been any problem on pilots flying and aircrew servicing the aircraft
This is how COMAC jet pilots are trained, applies to both ARJ-21 and C919.

TIANJIN, July 8 (Xinhua) -- European aircraft manufacturer Airbus on Monday delivered its 700th A320 family aircraft assembled at its A320 Family Final Assembly Line Asia (FALA) in north China's Tianjin Municipality.
"This figure highlights the long-standing and in-depth cooperation between Airbus and the Chinese aviation industry," said George Xu, Airbus executive vice president and Airbus China CEO.
"Airbus remains dedicated to strengthening strategic collaboration with China and fulfilling our long-term commitment to this thriving market," Xu added.

Chengdu Airlines has 50 Airbus aircraft now, according to its CEO, Wang Shushi.
Inaugurated in 2008, the FALA in Tianjin is the first Airbus production line established outside Europe. The FALA has been operating for over 15 years and has become a model of successful China-Europe cooperation.
The Airbus Tianjin expansion project, which broke ground in September 2023, is expected to contribute to the company's overall A320 family ramp-up plan, supported by its global production network of 10 final assembly lines.
The production network will include two final assembly lines in Tianjin (one under construction), two in Toulouse, France, two in Mobile, the United States (one under construction) and four in Hamburg, Germany.
Is it confirmed it actually flew?
Proof?
