ROTFLMAO. Sure why not? Wright Patterson might as well have a look at one to see just what the Chinese are peddling as signal management.

I can see where is this going. Pakistan depends on US for advanced military technology in order keep up with India. As Chinese stuff gets better Pakistan will shift to Chine more and more, in order to break dependency on US. When it finally happens, Pakistan will become major pain in the a**. Compared to it IS, Iran, AQ, North Korea and Syria will look innocent.

This isn't an "export". China is asking Pakistan to front some cash (in exchange for some of the production aircraft when --- or if --- they materialize) to cover part of the J-31's development cost, in much the same manner that Russia asked India to do the same with the T-50 a couple years back. It's not that big a deal.

Another misread, Blacktail. It's the China/Burma--> India squeeze play all over again aimed at INDIA. Stooge state being used as China also uses North Korea against its enemies in east Asia.
 
Just the same, a JC-31 can be acquired and taken apart if China is that STUPID.

They trotted it out for display (They're Chinese communists, they like to brag about themselves whenever possible.) and were suitably embarrassed when the plane went nose heavy in climb and turn (Surprises me, it should not have as a tail pusher.). I don't for a moment believe that it is ready for flight at all.
