Hi Shchinese, I could not find more info on J-10 and LAVI connection but found some thing real on the following link:-
Israel Aircraft Industries (IAI) Lavi
it simply states :-
The Chinese Chengdu J-10 (F-10) seems to draw heavily on the Lavi program. However, a close examination of the model of the J-10 shows nothing more than an old technology fighter with the shape of a modern one. A prototype was in the final stage of construction at the end of 1997 and Israeli and Russian companies were competing to provide the radar and the associate air-to-air missiles and air-to-ground weapons.
Few more links from Asia Times :
Asia Times
At least paste your stuff in an honest manner;
At the beginning of the nineties there were rumors that Israel had delivered a Lavi to South Africa.
