Imitations is the best form of compliments.
They can’t even get the Comac C919 to fly without issues and it’s been being built and tested how many years??
Would you fly on that aircraft? For me it's a solid negative.

I am quite certain the only reason small Chinese airlines bought C919 was because of substantial government subsidize (or they can't afford or get governmental approval to buy second hand Boeing/Airbus jets), and maybe national pride...
