Russia does not have a 5th generation engine core in even the validation phase.
China has a 5th generation engine core the WS-15, it has not only passed validation but is currently in mass production.
A true 5th generation engine core allows true supercruise
You can see the gap between the F-22, J-20 and Su-57
The F-22 supercruises from mach 1.5 -> mach 1.8 (This is because they have 5th gen engines, and is it burns its fuel stores)
The J-20 supercruises at mach 1.4 -> mach 1.8 (This is because the J-20 has a much larger internal fuel load, vs the F-22 as it burns this fuel it speeds up)
The Su-57 super cruises at mach 1.3 -> mach 1.5 (This is because it has a 4th gen engine, the actual 5th gen engine intended to power the SU-57 is stuck in development hell the Izdeliye 30 (or AL-51F1) so Russia put a souped up 4th gen engine inside the SU-57 the AL-41F1 which is the same core as the AL-31F. If they do complete their 5th gen engine the SU-57 is expected to supercruise at mach 1.8-> mach 2.0 as it burns up its fuel. Su-57 accepts more stealth penalties in exchange for superior aerodynamics.

China has already beat Russia in jet engines,

Russia is 30 years behind the west. China isn't competing with Russia, they're competing with the west.
