The stock led a rally across other defense names such as Aerospace Nanhu Electronic Information Technology Co., whose shares jumped as much as 15%. The J-35 sale to Pakistan would mark China’s first export of the fifth-generation jet, which has advanced stealth capabilities for penetrating the airspace of an adversary. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-06-09/chinese-defense-companies-soar-as-pakistan-touts-arms-purchase?sref=8HTMF4ka
