I just came across an Indian Media article and cracked my *** on google to find JF 31 fighter jet but could not. So PDF is a large community with knowledge of defence based issues can you please help me with this JF 31 fighter jet. the Article I am talking about is below.
First I thought that they were confusing it with FC 31 but FC 31 is mentioned in the article as well so they are not confusing it definitely. Now What is JF 31 fighter jet Pakistan is making?
The Article by Indian Media and this is a big Indian News site.
Donald Trump has helped China replace US in Islamabad, offered Beijing free control of Pakistan
Donald Trump “the mentally stable genius” president of the United States of America has thrown Pakistan into the lap of Xi Jinping and given Beijing a golden opportunity to further increase its influence in Pakistan by "freezing" $2 Billion military aid to the Islamic republic.
In Pakistan, "Beijing is fast replacing Washington DC... they (China) will move quickly to fill in this vacant space... they have done this in past”, said a high-level source in the diplomatic community in New Delhi, adding that Washington DC is rapidly losing space to Beijing at the military headquarters in Rawalpindi.
Currently, China supplies 63 percent of Pakistan's all military hardware while the US share has come down to 19 percent. Five years ago, both the countries were on equal footing, competing with each other.

According to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), military hardware purchases by Rawalpindi has turned China into the third largest exporter of arms worldwide. Pakistan tops the list accounting for 35 percent of China's military exports with Bangladesh coming a close second.
China quickly supplied the J-7, JF-17, and JF-31 multi-role fighter aircrafts and set up there manufacturing facilities in Pakistan after Washington DC stopped the supply of F-16 fighter aircrafts to Pakistan following intense lobbying by New Delhi in Capitol Hill.
Now there are reports that Pakistan Air Force is in talks with China to buy 30 to 40 of the new Shenyang FC-31 stealth fighter jets, which is likely to give it an edge over the Indian Air Force.
Pakistan Air Force also operates four Chinese-origin ZDK-03 (KJ-200) AWACS Airborne Warning And Control System. Wuhan-based China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation (CSIC) will provide the Pakistan Navy with eight modified diesel-electric advanced Yuan-class attack submarines, four of which will be built by the Karachi Shipyard and Engineering Works (KSEW) and will be fitted with air-independent propulsion (AIP) systems.
There are reports that Pakistan Navy personnel have made sojourns on board the advance Shang-class nuclear attack submarine, which docked in Karachi.
Some analysts say it's only a matter of time before Pakistan acquires a nuclear-powered attack submarine on lease from China.
Pakistan Navy has four Chinese frigates and has ordered four more improved F-22P Zulfiquar-class frigates from China Shipbuilding Trading Corporation.
The Chinese foreign ministry spokesman was very quick to defend Islamabad from the charges made in a tweet by US president Donald Trump.
