China has a Liberal policy because of those 4 decade old substandard technology. It is not going to be useful to any country. China still sells JF-17 to Pakistan but Pakistan have to rely on More than 4 decades old F-16 of US rather than modern fighters of China. That is the level of Chinese technology and therefore exporting them doesn't make any strategic difference expect China making money.
You have broached an off topic subject - but I will respond just to make a point.
Your comments about Chinese Substandard tech does not hold water. In every conflict between China and India, Chinese weapons have excelled over Indian ones, all of which happen to be imported or assembled from imported parts.
Until a few years ago - Indian local weapons manufacture was a rather dismal failure (INSAS rifle was a good example). Every weapon in India is more or less dependent on imported parts, backward integration is absent. Brahmos uses Russian parts, Tejas uses French avionics and US engines. Chinese make all their weapons themselves. Nothing is imported, unlike India.
Their level of indigenization is far ahead (I'd say at least a decade ahead) of India. That is a conservative statement.
Forget weapons, even local Indian cellphones like Karbonn and Micromax etc. are all made from imported Chinese parts. These are basic pieces of technology which are commonly available across the globe. Quite a few Indian power stations are also Chinese made. Indian renewable energy plants (Wind and Solar farms) all use Chinese equipment.
Today the Chinese are competing with Tesla with some hundred different brands of EVs like BYD which is a global leader. Industry leaders are saying Chinese EVs are better in quality and features than Tesla. They make 50% of the cars produced globally. And you are saying they have substandard tech....
Please don't embarrass yourself anymore bhai.
