US Security Concerns Complicate China’s J-35 Fighter Exports to Key Partner Nations
China's push to export its J-35 stealth fighter faces complex technical and security hurdles due to buyers' existing defense ties with the US, according to a South China Morning Post analysis. While Pakistan is the primary prospective buyer, Middle Eastern partners like the UAE also face delicate balances between Chinese hardware and US security frameworks. The UAE already operates Chinese L-15 trainer aircraft and shelved an American F-35 deal in 2021 over similar technology-safeguard tensions.
