I assume a phone copy done at a border checkpoint.
Chinese apps tend to not encrypt anything stored on device, and while android itself supports full device encryption it tends to be disabled on China models, or if it is enabled it is just the users 4 digit pin that protects the key, with no secure processor to prevent just trying every pin.
- thaumasiotes 3y agoThe article does not suggest that either of those people ever traveled to the United States. (It says this instead: (Like Liu, Fan presumably remains in China, beyond the reach of US law enforcement.)) It does say that Liu went to Italy... but it doesn't mention anything unusual happening at the border there. Phone confiscation is not a routine border-crossing event.

- flutas 3y agoThe article did mention they had a WeChat clone from her phone, could it have been a group chat from them? (I don't know if WeChat even has that option.)
- thaumasiotes 3y agoWeChat does have group chats, so that's a thing that could happen. It doesn't seem plausible for this particular message, since Liu is defending himself to Fan against accusations from You. If that message went straight to You (in a group chat with Fan), I would expect it to be described differently.
