  It is understood that on June 30, Didi successfully landed in the U.S. stock market and became the largest Chinese stock listed in the U.S. after Alibaba. It took only 20 days from the public submission of the prospectus to the official listing, creating a Chinese Internet company this year. The fastest record of fundraising in the United States. However, it is not all good news surrounding the successful listing of Didi in the United States. Along with the record-breaking, there is also a review of Didi's suspected illegal collection and use of personal information.


  Recently, it was reported that Didi, which was successfully listed on the US stock market, was suspected of leaking information on domestic roads. The reason for such news was probably due to a related announcement issued on the official website of the National Cyberspace Administration in the evening of July and February. The announcement pointed out that the Cyber ​​Security Review Office announced the launch of a cyber security review of Didi Chuxing, which is also the first review action since the "Network Security Review Measures" was officially released in April 2020.

  Soon after, Didi Chuxing responded that it would actively cooperate with the cyber security review. On July 3, Li Min, vice president of Didi, responded to the rumors that “Didi was listed overseas and packaged the data to the United States”, calling this a malicious rumor. Li Min said that, like many Chinese companies listed overseas, the data of Didi's domestic users is stored on domestic servers, and it is absolutely impossible to hand over the data to the United States. In addition, Didi will resolutely sue the relevant rumors (have taken the initiative to delete posts).


  Finally, the official announcement issued by the National Cyberspace Administration of China did not mention whether Didi had leaked domestic information, but confirmed that Didi had illegally collected and used personal information in violation of laws and regulations. The State Internet Information Office stated that in accordance with the relevant provisions of the "Network Security Law of the People's Republic of China", the app store was notified to remove the "Didi Chuxing" app and required Didi Chuxing Technology Co., Ltd. to strictly follow the legal requirements and refer to the relevant national standards to make serious rectifications.
