Not one thing, except, maybe, that it's not being exported to Argentina?

Why would there be greater political fallout selling JH-7 than JF-17?

JH-7A is a bomb truck, and JF-17 is a light fighter. Between the two, you decide what the UK rather China not sell to Argentina.

Well, the bomb truck probably won't make it anywhere against a credible air force defending an area. A light fighter has a better chance to take down a small air force. If the UK has 4-8 Typhoons guarding the Falklands, you'd be better off with 24 JF-17 than 14 JH-7. JF-17 can still do lighter bombing roles while you can't really configure JH-7 to do air superiority.
JH-7A is considered more of an offensive weapon. On top of that, it was using Spey engine before.

True but the JH-7 can carry more anti-shipping missiles than the one carried by the Super Etendard. Additionally, the JH-7 has an incredible range, which used in conjunction with in-flight refueling would be able to attack vessels from almost any point on the compass. This places vessels in more danger and requires the defending picket vessels to protect a perimeter as opposed to one side, thereby requiring more assets in defense.

Yeap, I forgot about anti-ship capabilities. JH-7 is very useful, but I still think if Argentina could only have 1, they should try to use the JF-17 to try to outnumber and take down the Typhoons. If you can't get them out of the way, forget about sending heavily-laden JH-7 to do anything.

True. It is all just rhetoric to distract the populous of the greater picture, which is the socialist train weak that has become the economy.
Back on topic for the JH-7A/B please
Crying over broken bottles of Grenache
GET BACK ON TOPIC.
This thread is about the JH-7 thread. While reporting that they might be offered to Argentina is fine (as long as you provide evidence of it)...getting off topic over the political and economic ties of Argentina and the UK is not fine.
It has no place on this thread.
I have deleted that off topic strain.
DO NOT REPSOND TO THIS MODERATION
Note: Thanks to Plawolf for letting me know that I had initially stated that this was the JF-17 thread when it is in fact the JH-7 Thread. Ooops...but fixed now.
