Could you provide the source?
Sorry, I can't.
Why not

Not an insider, just OSINT.
Open source information is equally sensitive.

12000kgf is higher than what most of us expected, I think.
To be fair, the previous spec of 11000kgf is achievable with current gen engine like F414 EPE so if it going to be next gen engine it has to be better.
Just a re-post here since turboprop engines are not really my topic:
Therefore here again, does China has a substitute for the 750shp PT6A-25C turboprop engine from Pratt & Whitney Canada available or is there something comparable under development?

Paging @sunnymaxi...
there are many domestic options.
AEP-80 turboprop engine.
800kw(1070hp) variant probably the best option for this type of training aircraft.
**************************************************************************************************************
another option is AEP-100 turboprop engine. recently developed by AECC
AEP-100 have many variants. so in this promotional video they specially mentioned advance trainer aircraft powered by this engine.

another option is unknown AEP-50E engine. with 550kw maximum power output. don't have any image of this engine.
