found it on my own. Yes it does.

Y-20 - Engines

As initially seen, the aircraft appears to be powered by four WS-18 low-by-pass engines [the Chinese version of the Russian Soloviev D-30KU], each with a power of 21,000 pounds of thrust.

interestingly, global security article also says, " Ultimately it is expected that the Y-20 would be powered by the WS-20 [the long delayed Chinese copy of the 1960s vintage American GE F101 engine] with a power of 27,600 pounds of thrust each, or more likely the highly fuel efficient CFM LEAP-X high-bypass engine with a power of about 30,000 pounds of thrust each. ...

indigenous indeed. such creative and inventive people.

Y-20 is likely just a copy of Russia's new Il-76MD-90A.

The widths of the cargo decks of the two aircraft are 3.4 meters and 4 meters respectively, means that the data of the load-bearing structure is completely different.

Wiki says the y-20 cargo bay is 4m high. Okay, you are right. Then perhaps it is the Antonov An-77. An-77....
"According to Ukrainian sources, in 2003 the Antonov bureau proposed a radical development of its An-70 transport that would replace its current contra-rotating propfan engines with four turbofan engines, lengthen the fuselage and increase cargo capacity to between 50 and 60 tons. This would approach the 70-ton capacity of the Boeing C-17 and exceed the 50-ton capability of the Ilyushin Il-76MD. The Chinese military transport aircraft would adopt different design concepts and technologies than the An-70 transport aircraft designed by Ukraine and Russia, and will be powered by four jet engines. "

Chinese undoubtedly copied/"purchased" from somebody. Just need to find out who.
Chinese were in Ukraine seeking deals.

Antonov An-77 Ukrainian Aircraft

"The Antonov Design Bureau offered cooperation to the Shansiy aircraft building corporation to build a new airplane using Antonov An-70 as a basic model. The Chinese side left the offer unanswered, although the proposition was negotiated during Li Peng's visit to Ukraine in the middle of 2000."
