I am surprised what Chinese media is saying - was expecting more favourable articles for Pakistan.
Anyway few important highlights:
1. They said - one might 21 aircraft was down in 2019.
2. Shooting su 30 and F16 was bocus claims.
3. J10 vs Rafale
4. Tejas vs jf17

“India is not looking to escalate this crisis,” said Yogesh Gupta, a former Indian ambassador.
“We are only interested to re-establish the deterrence for Pakistan’s terror strikes against India as in the post-Balakot period, which has broken now,” Gupta said, referring to India’s
2019 air strike against a camp in northern Pakistan operated by Jaish-i-Mohammed, a militant group that has fought Indian forces in Kashmir for decades.
India’s 2019 attempt to enforce escalation dominance failed, according to some analysts, because Pakistan’s air force
shot down an Indian fighter jet.
Meanwhile, Rafale’s AESA radar, advanced electronics and Meteor BVR missiles that outrange the PL-15s were a “proven platform with combat experience”, he said.
A clash between these two planes would reveal how Chinese systems compare to their Western counterparts, according to Nikolov.
The outcome of such aerial engagements would “influence global arms markets”, he added, prompting nations from Southeast Asia to the Middle East to assess the competing Chinese and Western hardware
Similarly, he said that dogfights between the Chinese-Pakistani JF-17 Block III and India’s Tejas Mk1A would “pit two lightweight, cost-effective fighters against each other”.

A clash between the South Asian rivals’ warplanes and artillery could have profound implications for the global arms industry.
