GUANGZHOU, China – Officials from seven Chinese government departments visited Didi’s offices on Friday to conduct a cybersecurity review.

This month, days after its high-profile listing in the United States, the Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) announced a review of Didi’s cybersecurity.

The ridesharing giant was forced to stop registering new users and its app was also removed from Chinese app stores.

China’s main cyberspace regulator, CAC, alleged that Didi illegally collected user data.

The CAC along with the State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR), the main antitrust regulator, were among the seven departments that visited Didi for the review of network security.
