PAF J-35AE - News, Updates and Discussions

[Michael]

It seems you are implying by using the example of the L-15 that the entirety of what has been provided by China to UAE and proxy forces such as UAVs, weapons for such systems, anti UAV systems, artillery and so on are downgraded systems or “airshow” grade?

Maybe you should pay attention to the context of the statement, rather than interpreting it too one-sidedly.
My statement is in response to this issue.

Interesting that the UaE continues to drive further Chinese technologies and China would promote the aircraft at multiple airshows for clients YET not agree to provide the aircraft even if contractual obligations are met

1. There are many factors involved in the arms trade.

2. The vast majority of English-language international media outlets are not friendly towards China; they analyze China from their own philosophical and value-based perspectives. However, China's concepts and philosophies differ significantly from those of many groups and countries in the English-speaking world.

If you really want to analyze the reasons behind this, you can start by reading the People's Daily.
