For months, no journalist was willing to react to Tursunay's "concentration camp" survivor story holes. Finally, a reaction, and from someone who pushed Tursunay's story while winning the Pulitzer Prize for International Reporting!

Thank you for stepping up to the plate Alison.

Alison asked for my reaction to the ASPI article. I gave it, while proactively recognizing she wouldn't like it, inviting her to ask any specific question she'd like. Her showing up on Xinjiang seperatist/extremist shows helps put into perspective the aggressive/dishonest reply.

What's even more remarkable & facetious about the whole thing is that while falsely stating I didn't answer her question, my very real reply & invitation to ask anything else she'd like was a response after her very real 5-month long deflection/real refusal to answer a question.

For the record, I've never once refused to answer one of Alison's questions, and even actively encouraged her to ask whatever else she wanted. There are however multiple questions she still refuses to touch from months ago.

There's no way to sufficiently describe the level of irony involved with asking for my reaction to a US gov't funded outlet saying Chinese gov't accounts retweeted me, while she is actually FUNDED by the US gov't through their USAGM propaganda outlet responsible for VOA/RFA, etc.

An eg of what'll get you blocked. I expect mine soon now that I lost interest in playing Alison's game of charades where identifying inconvenient questions/holes is a fixation but desperate narrative building is Pulitzer prize-level attention to detail.
