J10CE. 用过的都说好。meaning those who have used it expressed their satisfaction. Obviously referring to use of J10CE in their recent Pak-Ind aerial battle.
J-35A fighter (PLAAF) + FC-31 thread
- Thread starter ACuriousPLAFan
- Start date
Which reports?
This is what happens when people only read the news article title and then proceed to form their own conclusions.
Here's what the Pakistani Defense Minister actually said, in response to the reporter's question of "Are they (the J-35) going to be delivered (to the PAF) in 2026?" in the interview:

To be fair, the Pakistani defense minister only denied reports that the J-35 will be delivered in 2026, not necessarily the deal itself.
Anyhow, here are a couple of interesting photos, presumably from the Zhuhai Airshow.

Yup, two actuators per aileron. The J-35 has split ones though.
In my opinion, as long as Pakistan is still semi US ally, selling J-35 and other advance tech to them would be very irresponsible.
Plus the unintended consequences of pushing India into upgrading/joining the F-35 camp.
Even selling J-35 to Egypt is risky since it might up in Western hands. Iran as well; they have too much Israeli infiltration within.
Unless Pakistan establishes very close military relationship with China--ie naval port or bases in Pakistan--or India acquires 5th gen (not likely for a very long time), PLA should hold off from exporting to them.

By that reasoning - China can never sell J-35AEs to any other country. The J-35 family will also become China-exclusive fighter jets, just like the J-20.
