Assessment
Reliability Tier
1
Reliability tier 2, the same tier given to ChinaAid's reporting on China's house church crackdown: a long established advocacy and monitoring organization for persecuted Christians worldwide, an interested party rather than a neutral outlet, but whose country level reporting is specific, checkable against other monitors and widely cited by journalists and by government religious freedom reporting.
