The original article says "Internet users in China should first use a
trusted browser on their desktops and mobile devices - Firefox
<http://www.firefox.com.cn/> and Chrome
<https://en.greatfire.org/www.google.cn/chrome> will both prevent users
from accessing iCloud.com when they are trying to access a site that is
suffering from a MITM attack. Qihoo’s popular Chinese 360 secure browser is
anything but and will load the MITMed page directly."

which appears to be exactly what has been confirmed.
