I'm not going to ask anything of you that I won't ask of myself, so here it is.
Dr. Andrew S. Erickson is a core founding member of, the U.S. Naval War College’s China Maritime Studies Institute. Other accomplishments follow.
This is btw in 2013.
"After a round of successful testing in 2012, the JL-2 appears ready to reach initial operational capability in 2013,” DoD explains."

This one is the Pentagon's report in 2018, the article itself is by Hans M. Kristensen, you can check his accomplishments on the page.
"The DOD report says that China still operates four Jin-class (Type 094) SSBNs (all based at Hainan), each of which can carry up to 12 JL-2 SLBMs"
https://fas.org/blogs/security/2018/08/dod-china-report/
"China’s JIN SSBNs, which
ARE EQUIPPED to carry up to 12 CSS-N-14 (JL-2) SLBMs, are the country’s first viable sea-based nuclear deterrent."
This is the actual report of Pentagon in 2017

Now let's take a look at your "report," by AMIT PANDEY, if you can tell me exactly who this is, I'll concede, even if the report isn't true. What about the report itself. Based on the actual reports of the pentagon in 2018 and 2017, nothing suggest what it does in your "report."
So since at least 2013, which is around when the first tests took place, no pentagon report has ever reported what this has claimed.
So, now the ball is in your court please prove me wrong. You don't even need to prove me wrong on Bill Gertz in 2018 on JL-3. Just JL-2, please do so.
