For those that want more examples of Chinese high-technology, take a look at the list of Chinese Military Technological Milestones.
For example, you will find the year that China first built its own atomic clock, YF-73 cryogenic rocket engine, and Chinese JSTARS (ie. Joint Surveillance Target Attack Radar System) Tu-154M/D Electronic Intelligence Aircraft.

Firstly, this is the first time that we've seen a Chinese aircraft with a vertical S-duct (ie. serpentine duct) stealth design. In contrast, the J-20 and J-31 stealth fighters both have a horizontal S-duct design. Secondly, the Tian Yi 2 is also the first Chinese aircraft with flat nozzles for stealth in both the radar and infrared spectrums.

Development of Cast Superalloys and Processes in BIAM for 40 Years | Journal of Materials Engineering
"Received: 18 June 1998 ________ Published: 20 October 1998"

In the BIAM (ie. Beijing Institute of Aeronautical Materials) article published on October 20, 1998, it mentions the properties of China's DD6 nickel-based single-crystal superalloy.
"DD6 alloy is the second generation SC superalloy containing 2wt.% Re and provides an approximate 30 C improved creep strength relative to first generation DD3 alloy. At present, This alloy has been selected as HP turbine blades in an advanced aero-engine. The directionally solidified Ni3Al base alloy IC6 containing about 85vol.% Gamma' phase has been recently developed in BIAM for engine blades and vanes operating in the temperature range of 1000-1150C. The cost of the alloy is only 40% of PWA1422 and density reduce 7%.
The 8 sets turbine vanes (-400 pieces) were produced by this alloy and completed 42h flying test."
