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.
