This is a big understatement. China designed, manufactured, launched and put in orbit Paksat-1R. Even the funding for the satellite came from China, with Pakistan not even investing a single rupee in the satellite when it was launched. Even the satellite ground control facilities in Pakistan were supplied and installed by China.
Some modules in the satellite were of Pakistani origin. It was confirmed a few days after the launch.
