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.
