In this report, we analyze the Windows, Android, and iOS versions of Tencent’s Sogou Input Method, the most popular Chinese-language input method in China. Our analysis found serious vulnerabilities in the app’s custom encryption system and how it encrypts sensitive data. These vulnerabilities could allow a network eavesdropper to decrypt sensitive communications sent by the app, including revealing all keystrokes being typed by the user. Following our disclosure of these vulnerabilities, Sogou released updated versions of the app that identified all of the issues we disclosed.
Vulnerabilities in Sogou Keyboard encryption expose keypresses to network eavesdropping.
In 2016, the last year the survey was conducted, 95.5 percent of respondents were either “relatively satisfied” or “highly satisfied” with Beijing. In contrast to these findings, Gallup reported in January of this year that their latest polling on U.S. citizen satisfaction with the American federal government revealed only 38 percent of respondents were satisfied with the federal government.
Googling this took me a couple of seconds. Less time than writing a comment.
The source was hidden because the study was not performed by Harvard. Just because Harvard published a news article does not mean they did the research.
As I said, it’s a bullshit article.
“A new study from the Ash Center fills in this gap for the first time, providing a long-term view of how Chinese citizens view their government”
“Ash Center for Democratic Governance and Innovation, formerly known as the Ash Institute, was established in 2003 and is part of the Harvard Kennedy School at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, in the United States.”
I can tell you’ve lost because you’re resorting to attacking me. Want to provide a response to my criticism of the study more substantive than an emoji?
Remember, it’s about the study, not you or me. Stop trying to make this personal. Don’t put words in my mouth, I’ve not done the same to you.
I don’t believe there’s a single government in the entire WORLD with that approval rating. I’m not convinced by the results of a single survey, that’s not how science works- even social science.
If you think a result where 95.5% of any population have their opinion aligned means there nothing wrong going on behind the scenes, you must be naive as hell.
A western study doesn’t make the participants any less pressured by their authoritative goverment to not give negative feedback. Regardless of who asks the questions, these people still live their lives under the goverment.
It would be one thing to have a majority of their citizen be satisfied with how a goverment is run, but 95.5% approval rating is just illogical. It could only happen if there is pressure to give a positive answer or they are living in a utopia, and we all know human nature rules out the possibility of the second from ever existing.
You’d think the libs at Harvard would mention this. How do you think this actually works?
Better explanation: China has lifted 800 million out of poverty over 40 years, and quality of life has improved massively for almost everyone (also things that are confirmed by western institutions). Why would they not approve of the government?
An article from “China Daily” that’s pro Chinese government and doesn’t actually cite the research… I’m calling bullshit

You were saying?
It’s not peer reviewed, and it’s self reported survey findings. I’ve not seen this replicated anywhere.
Still not convinced.
Goal post shifting much?
You: It’s just Chinese propaganda with no source!
Me: provides source
You: Well it’s not a Harvard study!
Me: It definitely is.
You: Well that study sucks anyway!
Me: 🙄

It’s a western study! Is Harvard part of a communist conspiracy or what’s your point?
