I doubt it if that is the case why Pakistan bought ZDK03 from China My understanding is the ZDK is the AWAC for JF 17 and Fireye is for F 16
No country will allow their data link to be modified specially NOT the US

U.S doesn't allow is one thing, but countries still try and have met with success. Australia is one example, with their F/A-18s and then there is that tiny Israel that seems to get its hands on every technology available in the western world, and managed to access certain areas made inaccessible by manufacturers.
Pakistan is no exception to this case and has ventured into systems development, independently. It's not publicized as something grand, because it is not publicized at all. Doubting that Pakistan is able to do something this risky or difficult, is one ace they hold up their sleeve!
We have created a National link-17 system which help us to network both F-16, JF-17, as well as SAAB-200, ZDK all other ground based and Airborne sensors

NIGERIA APPROVES BUDGET WITH NEW PAYMENTS FOR JF-17 FIGHTERS....
On 20 June 2018, Nigeria’s President Muhammadu Buhari signed the country’s next fiscal budget – i.e. the 2018 Appropriation Bill of the Federal Government of Nigeria – into law.[1] Not only did the final budget retain the $35 million US installment allocated for three JF-17 Thunder multi-role fighters – to be procured from Pakistan Aeronautical Complex (PAC) – but the revised budget added another $47 million US for the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) JF-17 program.[2] With Nigeria $14 million US for JF-17s in its 2016 budget, it appears that the country will complete its payments to PAC by the end of 2018.

ADF if I am remembering correctly are ex Jordanian F 16s.
I am talking about MLUs and Block 52s, do they operate together with Chinese equipment?
