Just wait...
I bet most of you were saying that PAF won't buy Block-52+ only a couple years ago.
From what I've read, it seems China won't export J-11B to Pakistan simply because their local requirements won't allow it - there aren't enough being produced. Firstly China will complete their original Su-27 contract with J-11B, thus far they only produced 100 out of the 200 agreed with Russia. Then the PLAAF & PLAN will probably order more J-11B and the 2-seat J-11BS, but likely under only slight production increases. Right now production is slow and requirements are big...the J-11B export has nothing to do with politics IMHO.
