The Ambassador of Pakistan to China inspected the AVIC headquarters and held a dialogue.

May be on the delivery of a new batch of J-10CP fighters?

after a very successful and warm state visit to Serbia by President Xi, I wonder if China can sell some J10C to Serbia at a steep friendly discount?
assuming Serbia would find J10C useful to their national defense needs, of course.

Very unlikely as Serbia already bought Rafale. They need French influence in EU.
Bring in Chinese fighter jet create an unnecessary political tension as EU-China relationship is very delicate right now.
IMO, it's bad for both China & Serbia.

Serbia is also surrounded by NATO, so nowhere for their J10s to train and operated without being easily monitored by NATO. While the J10 isn’t anything new and an export version will have safeguards, I’m sure the PLAAF would not like to give NATO such easy and full spectrum access to the J10.

Conversely, China could test and learn how J-10 performs in an environment dominated by NATO assets.

Very unlikely as Serbia already bought Rafale. They need French influence in EU.

Dassault also worked with and provided technical & design support to SOKO of former Yugoslavia, in developing their indigenous Novo Avion aircraft that borrowed elements from Rafale. The program was cancelled at the onset of the war

Where in China is the first picture taken? The one with the coastline and the read beach/terrain. Not aware of any coastal areas in China with those features, is it on the coast of an inland lake in Western China?

You can see the road built closely by the edge of water due to its topography of hilly terrain. This is normally found in Xinjiang. So the probablity of this photo was taken there is quite high.

And yes, the lack of waves indicate that it is inland lake.
