Even if they manage to reverse engineer an exact copy it wouldn’t mean jack because PL-15 isn’t even the most capable AAM in service with PLAAF.
It is just cope. The rule of thumb is India declares victory regardless of what happens. A single use AESA on an AAM won't have any bearing to what flies on the Chinese aircraft. Having a general knowledge about enemy systems doesn't mean you could build or afford them either. For example I am sure most aerospace corporations have a good idea on how to build a stealth aircraft. Even on the forums we know some stuff. Serpentine duct, serrated nozzles, slanted radar, etc... How many countries build VLO aircraft ?

But I’m scared to think just how crazy the succeeding PL-16 is as a missile. I guess there is a reason that PLAAF only showed aircraft launching PL-15 a handful of times — there may be some legit opsec around the design that they don’t want others to observe.

Palestinians are constantly winning because they receive Israeli munition pieces daily.
