That theory has been debunked over n over again on this thread. Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Thailand, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan Egypt, Angola, Malaysia, the UAE etc etc have all bought high end defense equipment in the billions from China. Myanmar and Bangladesh are still legitimate defense export destinations.Mostly they sale on line of credit. It's obvious because countries with hefty pockets opt for Western equipments .
If Western technology is barred they will go for Russian platforms.
Only countries with minuscule defense budget opt for Chinese equipment.
Like Bangladesh or Myanmar etc. There is no way they can pay full amount without credit or they get weapons heavily subsidized.
Now there might be exceptions but they will be rare.
So when India sells equipment to Myanmar and Bangladesh, we shouldn't account for those exports in India's annual figure for exports?
