what's crazy to me then is how much was unredacted. i suspect a FOIA attempt of this same type of stuff in the US would have redacted 3x as much under 'pre-decisional'/'internal deliberation' exceptions
well, they‘re not allowed to arbitrarily redact. every black-out has a little citation to the legal provision that permits them to do this. it‘s how one can intuit which redactions are „China“ (the referenced provision is ‚could harm international relations‘).

if they overreach here, their redactions will be overturned in court. but, another thing is, half the correspondence is totally blacked out. the leaker (who seems to have worked in haste) only scanned the non-blacked pages.

i strongly suspect some of the redacted pages are the ostensibly ‚secret‘ pandemic data forwarded from China by their junior prof informant from Nottingham Ningbao University.
