The only thing that could slow your transfer down is the actual security check at 2E. You will need to use the far right checks unless you have a fast track pass (i.e. Elite Status or Biz BP). The yellow line is for UK and Ireland and other smaller destinations.
IMO the security check at CDG is awful. Always rude and do what they can to make your passage as difficult as possible even knowing that some very long haul flights pass through here and pax can be tired and irritable...
Anyway, I'm confident you'll make the connection
They are always keen to make you abide by the screening rules (belts are a particular pain....and shoes if you "bleep") but I certainly wouldn't say they go out of their way to make it as difficult as possible.
2E-2E transfer times are pretty short if you know what you're doing. Sharply off the plane, use the travelators (is that what they're called?), fast track security if eligible. I got off PEK-CDG a couple of weeks ago to transfer to CDG-MAN (which requires use of the shuttle train) and deplaning to clearing security was exactly 10 minutes
I was in J, but as I was on a short connection the FA let me sneak into F for a sharp exit ^
