It makes sense for China to close the market before Kaan arrives

I don't think Chinese care much about KAAN.

Pakistan may buy J35, J20 or KAAN. It does not make any difference unless it is F35, F22(Which is not available for sale) or Su 35.

Yes but we don't want that. It didn't perform well in MMRCA competition. We wanted either Eurofighter or Rafale. We are facing engine issue. We should work on it. Now we have the ability to make really world class aircrafts. We just need engine nothing else.

That is a pretty bold statement!
What do you base that on - if I may ask? Meaning the so-called Stealth fighter part - I don't care what Saudis buy or don't buy.
The entire NATO considers that as a problem for non-Chinese stealth aircraft competition.

The fact that they have this is something. And probably will be ten years ahead of the AMCA.
@LegionnairE your kind thoughts.
