The numbers here for WJ-700 looks pretty good. Max speed of 650 km/h with 8 to 14 hour endurance, 15km ceiling, 3.5t max takeoff and 480 kg payload. It's a different class of UCAV than WL-3. I wonder if they'd be interesting in a higher speed HALE UCAV like this. CH-6 is twice its size and have 21 hour endurance. If I had to guess, both of these are only for export market and China would want a flywing design for higher end UCAV powered by turbofan engine.
At the 14th China Air Show, the series of missiles and navigable turbine engines, piston engines, as well as ODWE engines, drones and engines developed by Beijing Power Machinery Research Institute, reduced scale models, and a batch of independent New engines with intellectual property rights were unveiled, nearly half of which were on public display for the first time.
The model of the ODWE engine (Oblique Detonation Wave Engine) designed by the 31st Institute of Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation was displayed at #ZhuhaiAirShow2022.
