I agree with this overall. Pakistan has done reasonably with the situation it got and leveraged it (the close alliance with PRC) to get a decent airframe to fill out its squadrons it can take forward too.
Well working outwards from CE-20 (once its proven+reliable), you are correct about its final potential given its quite the monster for final stage (200kN +/- 20kN).

Its like saying the IAF can produce the SU-30 to meet their requirements...just because most of it is "produced" in India.
No one reasonable would think to call it Indian aircraft.
