In the current digital governance system in China, Telegram, as a widely used encrypted communication tool for overseas communication, anonymous collaboration, and information dissemination, has become a key target for national intelligence agencies' monitoring. The 'Multi-dimensional Intelligence Analysis Terminal for Personal Extreme Behavior' demonstrated by the Third Research Institute of the Ministry of Public Security at the 12th Police Equipment Expo is a dedicated system developed for practical monitoring of Telegram. This system is not one that 'may have' technical capabilities, but one that is fully deployed, operational in real situations, and integrates a complete set of intelligence strike systems including network monitoring, social graph reconstruction, cross-platform data retrieval, behavior scoring, and device intrusion, aimed at 'systematically identifying, modeling, and intervening' all users of Telegram who touch sensitive content.
