Why China isn't selling J-35 stealth fighters to pakistan, at least not yet. 🇨🇳✈️🇵🇰
China is prioritizing its own military first. The J-35 is currently the PLAN's only carrier capable fifth generation fighter, and production is still focused on equipping China's expanding aircraft carrier fleet amid growing competition with the US.
There's also a technology risk. Pakistan still operates around 75 US made F-16s, which require regular maintenance by American technicians. Stationing J-35s at the same airbases raises concerns in China that sensitive stealth technologies or aircraft signatures could be exposed.
And Pakistan's strained finances give little incentive to rush the deal. Unless India fields fifth generation fighters or Pakistan suffers a major military setback, the J-35 is likely to remain out of Islamabad's reach.
There's also a speculative India angle, because India has delivered China on preventing QUAD becoming a military alliance, China may return the favour by not selling J35 to Pakistan.

Any Chinese tech is not safe.
Xiaomi phones are silently logging what apps you install and sending short screen clips to the cloud for anti-fraud checks.
This came to light after a developer reverse-engineered a rooted Xiaomi 14 running HyperOS 3. His friends had received calls from local police ordering them to uninstall X and Telegram. He found privileged system components that track recent app usage, upload lists of third-party apps, and capture brief encrypted screen recordings for cloud risk analysis. Xiaomi’s own developer documentation confirms the system retains 72-hour records of screen activity and app installs, even after you delete the apps.

China banned the exports of these to India anyway.
Beijing’s newest export controls target construction equipment — including tunnel-boring machines, some of the world’s largest and most complex industrial devices.
They’re used to build subways or drill roads and railways through mountains. China dominates the global market and India is among its main customers. bloom.bg/3UwyY8F
