@Indranil, do you think angled radome and chin from AMCA could make into TEDBF? PDR for AMCA is complete but it's still being worked on for TEDBF. If the DSI is same then wouldn't it make sense to reuse some other aspects too?

Investment in tech and R&D carry subsidies and incentives in almost every country, so Foxconn will be loathe to lose those advantages in their two 'home' countries. If there's pressure from both US and Taiwan to move production out of China, then Foxconn will be better off doing so.
