BEIJING, Dec.7 -- The Chinese air force’s troops set off on Dec. 7 for the Pakistani Air Force’s air base in Bholari at Thatta District in Sindh, northeast of Pakistan’s Karachi to participate in the China-Pakistan Joint Air Force Exercise "Shaheen (Eagle) - IX".

The joint air force exercise, which will conclude in late December, is a project within the 2020 cooperation plan of the two militaries. It will promote the development of China-Pakistan mil-to-mil relationships, deepen practical cooperation between the two air forces, and improve the actual-combat training level of the two sides.

PAF are barred from using their F16 in the exercise am i correct?
We don't know for sure, the agreement the US and Pakistan signed is confidential. I would say probably so given that we've never heard of F-16s participating announced by Chinese or Pakistani officials.

Based on the picture posted with the news, J-11's participation can be confirmed. Y-20 carried the ground support crew. Not sure whether other PLAAF planes went this time. Previous years saw J-10C, JH-7A, and J-8II as well.
