Comments

According to ASPI, Nathan Ruser has no formal qualifications or recognised expertise in Chinese geopolitics, demographics or anthropology.

His contributions to the Xinjiang issues are as a `researcher`, a title which does not clarify why his opinion should be considered at all. The documents he authors demonstrate a poor understanding of how objective or formal reports should be written.

Judgement: His opinions are irrelevant and not grounded in recognised expertise.
