you already had such an advertisement that if you paid 3-4 billion dollar to say Hq-9 is the best system it would not as impressive as Turkeys decision of Hq-9 win and No one would even believe China. But even the haters today think it may be not that bad or good. Already most of reputable news channels today confirm that it is win-win situation for china. Even the deal called off.

I think you should even consider give at least a couple of systems free to Turkey.
You would gain huge surface to keep Turkey in this deal. May be add some more tech transfer like Anti-radiation missile ft-2000 which is first product of the system or long range rocket technology for our UFS(sattellite launch system) project.. it is Already made 100s of Headlines.
LATEST NEWS;
China's generous offer
It is understood that Chinese co-production offer for the missiles included a very high level of technological input for the Turkish defense industry, which played a role in the Turkish selection of the Chinese system. Local defense industry sources told Today's Zaman that CPMIEC has also offered to invest in building a massive technopark next to İstanbul's Sabiha Gökçen airport. China had also reduced its price by about $1 billion.

S-300 Eliminated First
In the meantime, local defense industry sources told Today's Zaman that Russia's S-300s had been eliminated from the tender before the Sept. 26 meeting. This was because while Russia bid around $4.5 billion to build its S-300 system, it failed to come up with a tangible investment and offset offer for Turkey.

I just listened FM Ahmet Davutoglu saying He had a long conversation with Defence Minister and they eliminated Russia but the other three still in competition. They had a score system and assessed the system side by side and China came first. He said if others come with better offer We consider that. But currently THERE IS A HUGE PRICE DIFFERENCE and We wont waste even 1 cent of our citizens tax. Also we wont consider offers without co-production and ToT. We have our ambitions to create our own defence systems to be influential nation and this is very hard without strong independent defence industry.
Mr. Bayar: T-Loramids agreement would be signed within 6 months
Undersecretary of Defence Industries Murad Bayar, met with newspaper and television reporters. Mr. Bayar explained the background of decisions taken at Defence Industries executive committee and how China won the long range air defence missile tender. Bayar explained that Chinese system will be integrated to Turkeys air defence system software. He indicated that NATO member Greece has followed similar approach to install S-300 systems. He also indicated that other companies offered more than 4 billion US Dollar while Chines offer was 3 billion 440 Million US Dollar. Bayar also underlined that Roketsan will produce majority of Missile and Aselsan will reach new radar technology.
Bayar stated that the system will be mobile and can be deployed to any place. He added that there will be 288 missiles to fire. He stated that they will sign agreement in 6 months and following the agreement they expect Chinese company to complete all deliveries in 4 years. Bayar indicated that they will not receive the licence of system and they do not plan to export the production. Bayar stated that there will be a big technology transfer and said, We will have our infrastructure and capacity when we start to build our own system. Most parts of missiles will be produced in Turkey.
Bayar has also answered questions about purchasing systems outside of NATO and that are incompatible with NATO systems. Bayar said, a good solution is found on tender. This is integration and it meets all NATO criteria on information sharing. There are no criteria as NATO countries get weapon from NATO countries.
