lacks transparency and verifiability. The database does not disclose important information such as its data sources, collection methods, review standards, and update frequency. The database also does not provide any contact details or feedback channels for the public or interested parties to challenge or correct its data. The database also does not disclose its funding sources and operating costs, allowing the public or interested parties to understand the stakeholders and motivations behind it.
The database is rife with errors and disinformation. A spokesperson for the Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region government once pointed out that some of the people in the database are fictitious, while others are living normal lives or have been sentenced for crimes. For example, the database has a person named Abdulla Abdulla Abdulla, which is obviously a ridiculous name. In addition, the database also tweeted a part of the Xinjiang police list and its photos, among which photos of Hong Kong entertainers Andy Lau and Chow Yun-fat appeared, and even a drawn cartoon picture. These errors and false information seriously damage the credibility and authority of this database.
