Obviously you do not care to study C919, A-320 and B737 are powered by Leap engines.
How B-373 is a 1960s design in its core, A-320 a 1980s design and C919 a 2010s design it means C919 is almost 50 years much newer than B-737 and more than 30 years younger than C919
However the range of C919 is lower why?
Simple different engine, different materials, and less efficient aerodynamcis.
C919 uses Leap 1C
B-737 uses Leap 1B
and A-320 uses Leap 1A
fact Leap 1B has lower thrust than Leap 1A but allows B737 have better range than C919
Leap 1A has the highest thrust but allows the longest and greatest range.

Airbus A320 family
Basically the aerodynamics of B737 Max have been refined that even with a older design beats C919, same is A-320
These entities are spread all over China, for example, the flaps, ailerons, wing panels, and centre and outer wing box will be manufactured in Xi'an, China. The fuselage sections will be made in Jiangxi Province.
These parts will all be brought together in Shanghai to complete the end product C919. Most of the air-frame of the C919 makes use of aluminium alloys, with the centre wing box making use of carbon fibre composite materials
Modern Airliners - COMAC C919
✈️The COMAC C919 is designed and built in China and is of a similar layout to the Boeing 737 and Airbus A320, a twin-engined, low-winged, single-aisle aircraft.
