There is no Chinese equivalent ?? On jf- 17 sniper equivalent aselpod will provide jf Isr capability but still not a dedicated pod like db-110 I think paf bought 3-4 dB-110 systems meaning x number of pods and ground station per system

The Goodrich’s DB-110 reconnaissance pod is a digital, real-time, tactical reconnaissance system designed to capture images in day or night, using electro-optical sensor technology. The pod can transmit Images via datalink to the ground in real time. The system is produced Goodrich’s Surveillance and Reconnaissance Systems (SRS) team based in Chelmsford, Mass. The data link ground stations are designed and built by a Goodrich facility in Malvern, U.K. for the Poland Peace Sky Program.

Is it due to the engine and other signoff from US?
It is ok, jf-17 was designed with Gripen in mind in terms of egronomics and capabilities. Lets see if winds of change continue to hold to get any second hand units of f-16s. sooner or later they will come
