Defending a Thesis in Chinese
The oral defense (答辩) requires you to maintain your position under pressure while responding respectfully to challenging questions.
Concession structures

- 尽管如此，本研究仍具有重要的参考价值。
- 即便如此 — even if that is the case
- 即便如此，该方法论的创新性不容忽视。
- 诚然...但是/然而 — admittedly... but/however
- 诚然，样本量有所局限，但研究结论仍值得重视。
Defending and refuting
To defend your position:
- 我坚持认为，... (I maintain that...)
- 数据表明，这一担忧并不成立。(Data show this concern is unfounded.)
- 本研究已充分考虑了这一变量。(This study fully accounted for this variable.)
To politely refute a critique:
- 您提出的问题非常重要，但需要指出的是... (Your question is important, but it should be noted that...)
- 这一质疑值得进一步探讨，然而... (This doubt deserves further exploration, however...)

即便如此但我还是对的即便如此，本研究的核心论点仍然成立即便如此 requires a formal follow-up — using casual 我还是对的 breaks the academic register
这个问题很难，我不确定这一问题值得深入研究，目前阶段尚难作出定论In a defense, expressing doubt should be framed as future research potential, not personal uncertainty
