M-20B anti-ship ballistic missiles for Pakistan ?

Ashorter range version of the Chinese Dong Feng-21D anti-ship ballistic missile (ASBM), which has the ability to strike at targets at sea over 1500 kms away (“carrier killer”) has reportedly been developed. This, the M-20B, with a range of 280 kms and adhering to the missile technology control regime (MTCR), has reportedly been offered to Pakistan “which could have serious implications for the Indian Navy.” According to Vice Admiral Pradeep Chauhan, Director of the National Maritime Foundation, if such missiles are arrayed along the Makran coast of Pakistan, these could well sanitise approaches to Karachi and Gwadar ports and “complicate our operational calculations”.
