I'm just a casual user of xecjk, but in xeCJK.dtx
you can see the following code:
% \pkg{xeCJK} 必须使用 \XeTeX 引擎的支持。
% \begin{macrocode}
\msg_new:nnn { xeCJK } { Require-XeTeX }
{
The~xeCJK~package~requires~XeTeX~to~function.\\\\
You~must~change~your~typesetting~engine~to~"xelatex" \\
instead~of~plain~"latex"~or~"pdflatex"~or~"lualatex".\\
Loading~xeCJK~will~abort!
}
This means it still requires XeTeX to work.

I see.
