Nathan, you said that a number of people tried to "discredit" and/or "misrepresent" the ASPI report. I want to ask you a basic question: how do you draw the line b/w legitimate critical engagement w/ the report the one hand... https://twitter.com/Nrg8000/status/1309861089803292674">https://twitter.com/Nrg8000/s...

and efforts to "discredit" &/or "misrepresent" it. I& #39;m sure you& #39;d agree that its perfectly legitimate & natural for the veracity of any research to be challenged. But when we say that others are trying to "discredit/misrepresent", then correct me if I& #39;m wrong, that implies...

perhaps the critics involved have ulterior motives outside some kinds of bounds of acceptability. How do you draw that line, or what& #39;s your thinking process behind the characterisation of the critiques the report/database has received?

To avoid any misunderstanding...

I don& #39;t have any grounds to question the veracity of the ASPI XJ reports/database. In fact, I think the project is a welcomed one that sheds light on the events unfolding in Xinjiang.
