China to 'authorise' Pakistan to build missiles, tanks, FC-1 Xiaolong combat aircraft

[Zarvan]

The Missiles are mainly Air Defence systems. As for Tanks we already have rejected there Tanks and AL KHALID we produce has hardly any Chinese part. This deal is mainly for different Air Defence systems.

I think by this China means that they want Pakistan to fully built JF-17 in Pakistan rather then part in China and part in Pakistan. Also various TOT's will be coming in connection. Overall a good boost to Pakistan capabilities.

This is excellent news if true. I firmly believe that we are at the start of a glorious new phase in Sino-Pak relations. There should be greater and greater interoperability in not just defense but also in economy. I also believe this a result of changing international geo-politics. I think Pakistan can see the writing on the wall when it comes to the West. Our relationship with America is faltering very badly and the USA and India are already opting for a closer and closer relationship. Pakistan cannot ignore what is happening there. We need assurances and China is the best insurance we have. So long may this continue.

Is not pakistan already producing the J17 under licence?

Its not a under license production. its a co production while Pakistan only produces 58% of aircraft.

SKD: Semi Knocked Down, Kits.

We make most of the stuff inhouse for the JF17, including all the avionics. Not even remotely like license production.

NEW DELHI: In what will come as bad news for India, 'all-weather friends' China and Pakistan are set to not just increase weapons exchanges, the former is also expected to 'authorise' the latter to produce ballistic, cruise, anti-aircraft and anti-ship missiles, and battle tanks, China's state-run media reported late yesterday.

The weapons exchanges include the mass production of FC-1 Xiaolong, a lightweight and multi-role combat aircraft developed jointly by the two countries, reported Global Times, the Chinese Communist Party's news outlet. The two sides also agreed to strengthen anti-terrorism cooperation and strike terrorist forces including China's insurgent East Turkestan Islamic Movement.

These were the outcomes of yesterday's meeting in Beijing between Pakistan's army chief Qamar Bajwa and a top Chinese military official, Fang Fenghui. In exchange for Beijing's largesse, Islamabad agreed to ensure the safety of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC).

"Pakistan and China enjoy a special friendly relationship with each other and have a common destiny," Bajwa reportedly said at the meeting, according to a statement on the website of China's defence ministry.

Pakistan has deployed more than 15,000 troops to protect CPEC and the country's navy has raised a security contingent to protect the Gwadar Port, said Masood Khalid, Pakistan's Ambassador to China, at a news conference on Tuesday, according to Global Times. The Port is a key CPEC project.

"As Pakistan faces frequent threats from terrorist forces such as the Taliban and al-Qaeda, military support is necessary to ensure a safe environment for the regions where there is huge investment from China", said Song Zhongping, a military expert who has served in the Chinese army, to Global Times.

Pakistan's Bajwa is reported to have said the country's army is willing to "deepen the cooperation with the Chinese army and fully support the Quadrilateral Cooperation and Coordination Mechanism in Counter Terrorism by Afghanistan-China-Pakistan-Tajikistan Armed Forces."

Like I've many times, Indian media is cancer and should be treated as such, regardless of how butthurt some Indians get and claim that our media is as bad as theirs.
