Recent rumors in Chinese aerospace circle suggesting H-20 project has stalled/paused, if not abandoned

That brief rumour is about half a year old.
More recently, it seems that it is very much still occurring, though a to-arrive period is not yet known. What is more confident is that the PLA's 6th gen fighter (which I call J-XD) is expected to emerge prior to H-20.
I could certainly not see the H-20 being cancelled outright. There would be financial penalties that will affect the companies involved.
The current 'stall' seems to be more long lasting, with some suggesting due to change of strategy, while others suggesting size and budgetary issue.

I think the problem is a suitable engine. If they are just bombing Guam, they can do that now with just lots of ballistic or cruise missiles. If they can not reach Hawaii or Alaska, what is the stealth bomber buying them that a shit load of missiles could not do for less?
Redirected funding….invasion of Taiwan, increasing their influence in the South Pacific, maybe space based weapons too.
