It's actually two people that are "familiar with the move" and whose names aren't printed. I'm not super convinced by that tbh.
Secondly, if this company was actually close to this technology, why would they not be talking about it? This would be a huge boon for Chinese tech, and that's not the type of thing that normally comes from two randos to an international organization and is usually like a press release or something.
Couldn't stop thinking about what you said about Huawei's 7nm chips so I decided to investigate and would you look at that it only took me 10 seconds to find out you're wrong: https://consumer.huawei.com/en/press/news/2018/huawei-launches-kirin-980-the-first-commercial-7nm-soc/
Literally in the title of the URL it says 2018. That is the old TSMC 7nm not the 7nm SMIC from 2023...
