Did Palaeoloxodon live until 3000 years ago?

Old study, and I just saw that there was a thread about this from like 2012, but I was wondering if there has been any new information since? I also want to make sure I understand correctly: that the genus Palaeoloxodon was long thought to have went extinct over 20,000 years ago. However, a species of the genus might have actually survived in China until around 1000 BC, is that correct?!!!! That means the genus lived over 20,000 years longer than previously thought!!!!

Are there any other extinct genus's that might have survived much longer than previously thought?!

Technically Paleoloxodon's lineage still survives today as remnants of the African forest elephants' genome due to a hybridizing event some time back in their ancestry (similar to how remnant Neanderthal and denisovan genes survive today in some parts of the human population).
