To paraphrase
"Meanwhile, New York Police Department (NYPD) intelligence head Thomas Galati continued to push on the fact that it remains unable to get into a significant number of iPhones (67, in fact) because of Apple's encryption software and its refusal to find a way to bypass the security to hand over unencrypted phone data."
So why doesn't he simply get a court order ordering the defendant to hand over the password.... because they'd please the 5th amendment perhaps? So he's trying to get around the 5th amendment, the amendment designed to protect the defendant from a coercive false prosecution? Or perhaps they're a dead defendant, in which case why is he trying to still prosecute a dead defendant?
How many of those cases will collapse without the imagined data? So does he have evidence against those 67 or is he fishing for it in the hope of finding something?
Let me paraphrase:
"Meanwhile, Chinese intelligence head Huan Ho continued to push on the fact that it remains unable to get into a significant number of iPhones (67, in fact) because of Apple's encryption software and its refusal to find a way to bypass the security to hand over unencrypted phone data."
Huan Ho pointed out that the phones he wanted access to could yield valuable information in serious crimes, including violent dissent, promoting democracy, and criticizing the Communist Supreme Council."
