This is a statement for domestic audience. IAF chief would know that no international air force will pay attention to this. He is keeping the domestic audience informed that the Chinese have access to western tech. via Pakistan. Most people in India don't pay attention to military tech. etc., so they may otherwise not be aware.
Successive IAF chiefs have used this type of events to internally press the need for more attention to IAF from GOI. CDS in India seems to consider IAF as only a support force. Even more recently, he had said that since IAF has S-400, we can rationalize the fighter squadron requirements. This obviously does not play well with the IAF chief.
