The report it put out contains very little evidence of anything not widely reported elsewhere.
This second hand account from the Sunday Guardian (barely a newspaper, owned and run by a Hindu Nationalist politician) contains distortions/misunderstandings of an already threadbare report.
I don’t know why this is on HN. Its literally just propaganda. Share something from reputable sources.
ASPI is an Australia think tank, founded by Australian government and partially funded by Australia's Department of Defense, according to their website [0]. Clearly they're biased but not necessarily anti-China. Australia was pretty cozy with China until very recently.

Thank you for doing more where I didn't have time.
Edit: Slightly better link [1]. Still from ASPI, here's a link to their home page [2].

Are you trying to say the claims are true, since they were independently reported? Or that they mostly lack evidence? Without telling us which claims are confirmed by other sources, which are unsupported, and which are distortions, we can only speculate.
