do you know what you're quoting? It's for normal trade not for defense deals in which Pakistan has a VERY SPECIAL STATUS FOR CHINA LOL

The same applies to the defense sector: China will no longer provide concessional loans. This is also why Pakistan has been unable to acquire additional J-10 fighter jets, and it appears that Pakistan will not be the first international customer for the J-35 either.

Various signs indicate that China would prefer Pakistan to seek financing on international markets rather than rely on Chinese banks.

I'm not saying by myself, but our military is saying that is I'm saying PAF is going to have more J-10C sooner or later and what is surprised for JF-17 we have most capability (provided by China) to upgrade it at home

China is focusing its resources on sixth-generation fighter jets, so it is unclear whether it has sufficient capacity to devote to the JF-17.

Pakistan might be better off following the example of Türkiye and Russia by leasing office space or establishing a subsidiary in Shenzhen, allowing it to directly procure various chips and electro-optical components for upgrades.
