While it is rare, this is a possibility given that your name indeed does not exactly match.

But if you have the gut to show both document altogether, the GA should eventually let you fly.

The correct term is "Hong Kong Permanent Resident with Chinese Citizenship".
Another political correction.

Because one country comes before the 2 systems, the politically correct term should be a "Chinese citizen with Hong Kong Permanent Residence"

English is not an official language of the PRC.

It seems it is a translation error.

(Note - because many Hong Kong residents are BN(O) holders. So the word "national" is sensitive in Hong Kong. So even the "official" translation is "national", but I do believe that the Central Government really mean citizen. Even the Immigration Department uses the term citizen instead of national.)
