For your point 1. I think Pakistan is well beyond pissing India off and vice versa. Well and truly beyond. If they can each field 7th gen fighters tomorrow somehow, they would and they would use them too. The general balance of military ability between the two is what keeps everything from blazing... that and nuclear weapons.
2. If it can get a chance at BVR thanks to AESA and PL-15 (if PL-15 is even compatible with blk 3) then it can compete with Rafale. WVR is mostly down to pilot skill and other factors outside of the fighters.
3. Not a problem certainly. It is officially a Pakistani fighter as well after all.
Welcome to SDF! I think the recent sentiments on China from Turks and some Pakistanis, has been encouraged by the Islamic identity. However it is really only the Turks and Pakistanis in the Islamic world who are more inclined to call China out for the Uighur issues. Combine this with the unbelievable exaggeration from western propaganda and it's easy to understand why many are upset with the CCP. Of course that's not to say the CCP doesn't have a heavy handed way about dealing with social issues... any ones and regardless of the religion or race of the perpetrators. Look at Shen Yun and Fa Lun Gong for just another example of anti CCP propaganda and how the CCP deals with threats to its legitimacy and the threat these things pose to Chinese society at large.
It's now been proven that the numbers made up (over a million) by western press were falsified and the source was one man who actually admitted to not having credible information and basically making up a figure. Unfortunately China just has to understand this PR battle is so set up against us because it's the only effective weapon our enemies have on us. They've tried every which way to topple the CCP and destroy China.
Check the sources they are referring to!
