New Delhi: 'Pakistan may proliferate US F-16 technology to China' -- this is the fear being voiced by US Congress as they debates a new weapons package to Islamabad. The Pakistan Air chief quickly came out with an assurance.
Pakistan will not proliferate US F-16 technology to China, says the chief of the PAF.
The assurance comes in the wake of fears in the US Congress that sensitive American technologies will be leaked to Beijing via Pakistan.
Air Chief Marshal, Pakistan Air Force Ahmed Chief says, “There is no such thing as an aeroplane or a piece of equipment having gone out of Pakistan to any other country."
Washington wants to sell Pakistan 16 new F-16 fighters with an option for a further 18 add on, 26 used F-16's bringing the total number to 70. The package includes missiles and other munitions.

But those JSOWs,AMRAAM C-5s,SNIPER -XP pods & JHMCS are a different matter-Beijing will find them more than useful.

They may not "give" it to them, but I'm sure they would certainly SELL it if the price is right

They don't need to sell it.China is Pakistan's largest arms supplier & strategic ally.They only need to lease an F-16 to show their gratitude.

Pakistan may not admit it, but they've
allready given China tech info from the F-16. Check out their
FC-1, which was developed jointly with Pakistan. From beyond the intakes to the tail, that profile sure reminds me of the Falcon.

Would it be racist of me to admit I would suspect the Muslims in Pakistan of lying....whenever their lips moved?

The Pakis aren't able to sell the PRC F-16 technology because Israel has already sold it to them, along with the plans for an improved version, the Lavi.
Whether or not the PRC can mass produce F-16s or Lavis, is another story entirely.
