NASIC (US military agency) 2017 is the authoritative source here; only notes 1 warhead.
That does not mean that it can not carry MIRV. As all the other credible sources stated. You simply can not remove credible sources.

The JL-2 (Chinese: 巨浪-2; pinyin: Jù Làng Èr; lit. 'Giant Wave 2', NATO reporting name CSS-N-14) is a Chinese second-generation intercontinental-range submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM) deployed on the People's Liberation Army Navy's (PLAN) Type 094 submarines. It succeeds the JL-1 SLBM deployed on the Type 092 submarine.[14] It is the first Chinese submarine lunched ballistic missile to use MIRV technology.[15]

The JL-2 is the first Chinese SLBM that allows PLAN ballistic missile submarines to strike portions of the United States from the Chinese coast,[16] and provide China with a viable sea-based nuclear deterrent.[14]

Development

The JL-2 is a naval variant of the land-based DF-31.[3][17] Their common 2-metre diameter solid fuel rocket motor was successfully tested in late 1983,[3] and research and development efforts were reorganized starting in 1985 to produce both missiles.[17]

The first JL-2 at-sea launch occurred in 2001 from a Type 031 submarine.[3][17] The program was delayed after a failed test in 2004.[3] Successful launches occurred in 2005 and 2008. The missile was successfully fired from a Type 094 submarine, the intended operational platform, for the first time in 2009.[3] A series of test launches occurred in 2012.[18][19] Another test launch occurred in January 2015.[20]

During the development of the missile, it was reported that China was considering modifying the missile to accommodate an anti-satellite warhead to give it a sea-based anti-satellite capability.[21]

Type 094 deterrence patrols with JL-2 missiles began in December 2015.[1]

As of 2017, 48 JL-2 launchers are deployed on submarines.[10]

Description

The JL-2 is a three-stage, solid-fuelled missile,[10] with a maximum range of 7,200 km (4,500 mi).[11] Payload is a single or 3 to 4 MIRV warhead.[22][23][24]
