Trust me, the proportion of indigenous to import would become a tad lopsided etc, if Russia were to offer its grade-A stuff or if the European embargo were to be removed...what you have, is the classic case of a captive customer and the local industry making hay when the Sun shines. If the political issues preventing grade-A weapons imports into China were to disappear, you'd see that chinese military men were only human...and they'd purchase whatever they could afford (and which met their needs).
