The interview is very interesting and can be read with a translator, like deepl.com.
According to the expert, the tree belongs to newly described species Cupressus rushforthii. Because this new species has not been included in the national plant protection list of China, it has been listed for the moment with a wrong name.
102.3 m is the height to the average ground level. The height to the lowest ground level is 104.6 m. Diameter is 293 cm.
Apparently the tallest tree has been climbed by a second team. Read this with a translator:
