This is DF-15B for your reference.
DF-21D has a larger diameter for 1.4m, same as DF-26.
At least they didn't go out of their way to claim it was a copy of some inane idea the US had eons ago.
The comment section on the other hand...the amount of racism, orientalism and outright cluelessness with zero attempts at moderating it,
I would be curious what H-6N range with this missile is. If with refueling, then can fly out to 2000 km away from Chinese air space and launch it, they could possibly target military bases up 4000 to 5000 km away from China. Not enough range to hit say the warships residing in Pearl Harbor but there are some interesting targets that open up.
They can also use it to target carrier groups in Western Pacific, but that would depend how well they can actually detect those things.

Such a missile could be successfully launched from locations a few hundred km to the west of Ryukyu islands and Japan. And possibly from a location somewhere at the line between Taiwan and Luzon islands. And from a few hundred km away west of Palawan and few hundred km north of Borneo island.
Even through the true designation is still unknown, YJ-21 is the closest thing so far I can get, like the air-launched YJ-12 vs ship launched YJ-12A. It appears, however, the major difference between the two variants is that the ship launched YJ-21 uses a shorter one-stage rocket booster while the air-launched YJ-21 uses a longer two-stage (?) rocket booster, suggesting their tactical objectives are somewhat different.
