After Didi, China launches cybersecurity probe into more US listed firms

BEIJING: China’s cyberspace watchdog said on Monday it is investigating online recruiter Zhipin.com, and truck-hailing apps Huochebang and Yunmanman, ramping up a crackdown on the mainland’s tech companies amid tightened regulations on data security.

The announcement comes a day after the Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) ordered a suspension of app downloads for Chinese ride-hailing giant Didi Global Inc, which went public in a US listing last month.

Full Truck Alliance, the result of a merger between Huochebang and Yunmanman, and Kanzhu Ltd, the owner of Zhipin.com, went public in the US stock market last month.
