They have company like MTU Aero Engines AG, which is producing major parts for pretty modern engines like EJ200 and F414. Chinese companies have not produced anything better than copies of 1970s AL-31 and RD-33 really. It doesn't sound very plausible that they could offer anything for the Germans in this field. Maybe Chinese should try to sell their technology to P&W, GE and RR also?

Not really an issue. China has been manufacturing engine parts for quite some time. Chinese parts end up even in US aircraft over the years...

Some magnets and counterfeit electronics components are not really high tech. There are probably Chinese made parts (genuine and counterfeit) in very many military (and civilian) products, mainly because they tend to be cheap and good enough in many cases.
But that's exactly the kind of technology that German manufacturers are very good at and Chinese companies have struggled for decades. Even the Chinese Comac C919 airliner uses engines from CFM and not Chinese engines (I know that they might start using those at some point as they are in development). Chinese operational (military or civilian) engines are not very impressive compared to engines that German manufacturers work with. Also German companies could easily buy proven technology from USA, France and UK for example.
Sure, I don't dismiss China at all and they are getting better and better. However they still have a long way to go before they are really competitive with Western technology.
