In my Beijing experience, the police are not out to abuse authority, just to cover their behinds. Not reporting having seen the word "Riot" on your 'phone could get them into trouble, so they will report it - which means pulling you through the mill first.

Though "the web" and "the Internet" are harder to keep apart for many.

I hope the rename will be considered a change of identity, which will allow the new client to be offered in the Chinese app store again. Please think of the ocean of actual and potential users there.
