PLAAF may used comac C919 as a better candidate. The reason why civilian engine like SFA 5000 is started is to replace all foreign parts so that embargo will not stop C919 AWACS project.

C919 is small compared to Boeing 707 I don't know is C919 two engine? Are there any more airliner project by China any 4 engine based platform. But yes C919 AEW&C to replace Y-8/9 series would be excellent and might get international orders like Pakistan and other Allies of China.

The latest generation of KJ-500 suggest smaller antenna dish build. I don't it whether size will really restrict it capability but C919 shall have no problem fitting the new dish on it.
