I thought maybe this research was related to https://jsuese.scu.edu.cn/en/article/doi/10.12454/j.jsuese.202400800/ but I did not find Cao Jie's name or contact cited as either an author or referenced. However, its similar enough to suggest there might be a relationship.
That one, "Towards a Universal Security Framework for Darknet Suppression: Conceptual Foundations and Future Prospects" also acknowledges from the National Key R&D Program (which is not notable in itself, the program issues a lot of grants). The grant number is different (2023YFB3106600), but pretty close to the other one (2023YFB3106700); I would guess they they were awarded at about the same time. It's possible that different institutions have different grants on similar topics. 2023YFB3106600 2023YFB3106700 Searching for 2023YFB3106600 turns up some other publications: "CTS-OD: a cascaded two-stage framework for high-throughput Obfs4 detection" Huang Yutong, Zhang Qiang, Huang Cheng Cybersecurity, 2026. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1186/s42400-025-00492-0 "Seeing Through .onion: Multimodal Information Extraction and Category Discovery in Tor Markets" Chen Zhouguo, Wang Chunmian, Ren Leran, Yang Ming International Conference on Computer Supported Cooperative Work in Design, 2026. https://fyust.edu.cn/gjhyqk/cscwd2026/papers/paper_1036.pdf
