Following Didi, on 5th July 2021, three more apps were announced
to be investigated for cybersecurity review and suspended from new
user registration. Two of them are truck-booking platforms, called
Yunmanman and Huochebang, both under the Full Truck Alliance. The
other app is a job recruiting platform Boss Zhipin. Full Truck
Alliance and Boss Zhipin, together with China's top
ride-hailing platform Didi who was cracked with the same probe
three days before, all began their listing in the US for less than
a month. Their common identities as freshly US-traded companies
make it dubious that China is targeting overseas listing tech
companies or wrestling with data sovereignty amidst the potential
threats posed by US regulatory oversight.
