I saw this and started reading between the lines a little. China's radar and missiles aren't that good thus the reason for Pakistan look elsewhere. Looks bad for China when the country involved in the design and R&D cost goes outside. Maybe the J-10 isn't that good or China didn't offer the good stuff to Pakistan because they afraid that the US might get a peak under the hood. Either way going French is going to bring this $20/25 million dollar per fighter up to around $30 mil per. I see in the future a little un-sold Rafale built into Block-2, J-10s, leave it up to the French.
