We discussed this many times, the J31 fighter will not be ready till 2030, it only has 2 prototypes. The chinese airforce at the moment are concentrating on the J20 fighter and this is why J31 project has gone quiet, it could also be possible they are making another fighter jet ie J35. Whichever fighter it is, it won't be ready till 2030.
Pakistan will not induct 5th generation jet till 2030, project AZM will be J31 or J35 with Pakistani specs, the 2nd 5th generation we are looking at is Tfx which also won't be available till 2030.
This is not an issue because India will induct 5th generation in a decade time so PAF plan is in force already. To counter current su30Mki, Tejas, Mig29 and Rafael, we have f16 upgraded, f16 block 52s, jf17 block 2s and latest Block 3. This will definitely give us enough power to counter any attack, also if we are lucky we could also purchase more brand new f16s or 2nd hand ones.
