The first two are researchers from universities in the US, UK, Australia and EU countries. The last one is researchers from Chinese institutes. Bottom line: the article is not based on studies by "Chinese-only researchers in state-backed institutions" as you say. Also, please don't abuse Occam's Razor as a tool to shut down curious discussion.
