Look! I don't know what green forum is! but as you mentioned it i will pay a visit.Seems like you've spent way too much time on the green forum and your source is wiki!! Assembling an AC doesn't equate to manufacturing
The entirety of design, development and flight testing of J-17 (all blocks) are done in China. I doubt if pak even has access to the source codes

This is how PAC -Kamra receives their kits - similar to CKD kits for automobiles which are then loaded onto their respective jigs to be assembled/integrated with the necessary sub-systems received as part of these kits

The JF has been exported to Myanmar and Nigeria - both these countries were looking for an affordable fighter jet and China has significant clout and presence in these countries. It's a no brainer their influence worked and I can only pity your ignorance if you actually think these exports were due to pakistan's lobbying
The way pak obtained their nuclear capabilities has dubious claims with both NK and China having some role to play. I agree China will continue to support pak to keep India at bay but not to the point where they share their most critical/advanced tech. They might definitely offer the platform but not ToT as evident from the recent inductions of chinese platforms into pak's arsenal
Most of China's tech is reverse engineered or bought from Russian systems including their missile tech. After the fall of Soviet Union, while our dumb top brass was buying Russian weaponary, China was smart enough to hire Russian engineers & scientists. There is a reason why China is still struggling to develop an engine or the purchase of Su-35s despite J-20 being at an advanced stage. China's hypersonic missiles can be expected to achieve full operational capabilities only after Russia
It has been widely reported that, pakistan manufacture ( not assemble ) 60 percent of jf17. And that's why i mentioned it.
Unfortunately, i can't access your attachments.
And there are some ToT happened. For examale, the hangor class submarine. Four of which supposed to be built in pakistan.
last but not the least, what is expected is not always what actually happens. ( however, Russian avangand is already operational ) And not all the Chinese missile are based on russian tech! specially not the new ones. And there is variety of them already in service now. and df17 is one of them.
