Hear me out now because this might sound a bit crazy, but…I mean it's a newspaper not really an "official government paper reports", it's just state owned. So yes, it's not really definitive but as I said I don't know how to easily search for "interviews with actual military personnel" with official translations in english. So that just leaves lower quality but more easily searchable sources. If a PLA statement with official english translation (such as when type 002 launched) is provided then everybody switches to using official nomenclature. Absent that it's kind of up in the air.
Have you tried, ummm… reading through this forum?
