Bro they have the ability.
I was under the impression the FCS is a bottleneck [which is a strategic capability like engine & engine SW]. I would always suggest localizing the input/knowledge of a subsystem. Buying off-the-shelf creates a dependency and single point of failure. just my opinion.
In an ideal situation you would be correct. In design however, compromises have to be made.
People are generally negative.
If you're asking if PAC invests in private ventures then the answer is a big no. Much has been written on this very thread and forum about the need to include private enterprise. Some small positive steps exist but they are very small and insignificant for now. Hoping for positive change in the future.

So what...Does China's J-31 Fighter Actually Belong to America?
Improvements or changes to the J-31 likely continue a long-standing pattern of China’s apparent and somewhat visible effort to copy, steal, or mirror designs used for the U.S. F-35.
Hi,
Many a years ago I stated on this forum and on sinodef that the J31 was a copy of the F-35 and there were many an innocent and incompetent who challenged me on that---.
"However, available photos show an even larger measure of similarity between the F-35 and Chinese J-31 multi-role fighter"
"At the same time, a 2018 Pentagon news story about DoD’s annual China report mentions that apparent similarities between the F-35 and Chinese J-20 could very well be a result of espionage."
"As recently as last year, another Global Times report said the J-31 showed design improvements at the 2019 Paris Air Show. Photos from the story reveal profound visual similarities between the F-35 and J-31. This is not without precedent, as the Chinese media itself has noted similarities between the two aircraft. "
"The only major difference, the paper notes, is that the U.S. has an F-35B Short Take Off and Landing variant and that the J-31 uses two engines compared to the F-35’s single engine propulsion configuration"
This article is a great read---.
Bhai you are posting off topic articles here.Does China's J-31 Fighter Actually Belong to America?

Apples and Orangutans lol.
based on or is J-31?
Probably based on I would guess.
IF that the case first Pakistan should have their source code and i think Pakistani will get some of sub systems but not whole J-31 Project
I don't think so, a member here with inside connections has mentioned previously that there is zero Chinese involvement with Azm, or close to zero. IIRC.
