what happned to a J-10 combat aircraft deal?

Even if it is true, it doesn't necessarily have to be announced on this trip. This has been discussed multiple times on the J10 thread.

This trip had other strategic significance. Overall, a successful one for Bangladesh.

Yeah, wait until 2026 August is over. Then come back.

Who came up with that specific timeline?

The original news piece that I posted in J10CE thread. The cited government official mentioned this timeline.

I stand corrected in that case.

Even though Japan has been a long term friend to Bangladesh, China is in our neighborhood. Not only are the Chinese important investors, they are critical to our national defence, since majority of our systems are Chinese and will continue to be so in the near future.

If Bangladesh has to choose between the two going forward, the choice is very simple when you take all factors in consideration. I support the move to agree to this.

Neither you share a land border nor you share any maritime boundry with China.... then how can you call China your neighborhood? Or you don't respect chicken neck at all and imagine Bangladesh touching borders with China?

I didn't say neighbor, I said neighborhood, which China absolutely is. There is a big difference.

Not everything is about you and your perceived disrespect. Absolutely don't care about that. Take your whining elsewhere.

Why would BD agree to this in the joint communique... if not for some desperation?

Joint Communiqué Between the People’s Republic of China And the People’s Republic of Bangladesh

During Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif's visit to Beijing in May, Pakistan and China issued a joint statement that included a paragraph stating: "Both sides agreed that it is essential to firmly uphold the victorious outcomes of World War II, and oppose any attempt to revive fascism and militarism. The two sides expressed support for the postwar international order underpinned by international legal documents such as the Cairo Declaration and the Potsdam Proclamation and other principles of international law for the maintenance of world peace and security and safeguard historical truth and international justice."

To most Pakistani readers, the paragraph appeared routine diplomatic language. But in Tokyo it was interpreted very differently.
